Career

Leeds

He started his senior career at Leeds United, where he occasionally deputised for compatriot Gary Kelly in the right-back berth but predominantly spent his time in the reserves. In spite of his lack of competitive football during this period, he attained two caps for Republic of Ireland in friendly internationals. Leeds United Association Football Club are an English professional football club based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. ...

In an attempt to gain experience of regular first-team action, Maybury spent spells on loan at Reading and Crewe between 1999 and 2001. However, when still unable to displace Kelly upon his return to at Elland Road, he decided it was in his best interests to leave, with Craig Levein paying £130,000 to secure his services for Hearts in August 2001.

Hearts

Alan made his Hearts debut in a convincing 3-0 victory over St Johnstone later that month, and quickly impressed with his determination, consistency and versatility, becoming an integral part of the team that would record successive third place finishes in the SPL in 2002/03 and 2003/04. Although by preference a right-back, he would often deputise at left-back when required, and occasionally in right midfield. His dependably high-level performances eventually earned him the vice-captain's role and, by the summer of 2004, a recall to the Irish international squad, where he increased his cap tally to 9.

One moment of controversy during Maybury's time in Scotland occurred when it emerged that he had been a childhood Rangers fan: in the sectarian environment of the West of Scotland, for an Irish player to proclaim such allegiance was considered newsworthy. Maybury's motivation for supporting the Teddy Bears was, however, reassuringly simple: the colour of their strip. In 1995 he had a trial at Ibrox. For other uses, see Rangers F.C. (disambiguation). ...

Leicester

On 14 August 2006, Leicester were approached by Sunderland regarding Maybury's availability.^[2] No news update came after that so the deal possibly fell through. Maybury was however transfer listed by then manager Martin Allen on June 4, 2007,^[3] having been replaced by Bruno N'Gotty and Richard Stearman.
