Warren Feeney (born January 17, 1981 in Belfast, Northern Ireland) is a professional footballer. He currently plays for Luton Town.
Feeney is a Northern Ireland international. He scored his first international goal against Azerbaijan in September 2005, also netting in a friendly against Portugal.
Feeney started off as a trainee with Leeds United, but was soon loaned out to Bournemouth. The loan eventually became permanent and he went on to play nearly 100 times for Bournemouth, scoring 36 goals.
Soon after he was sold to Stockport County for £45,000. He made over 40 appearances for them, scoring 17 goals even though Stockport were relegated, and was sold to Luton Town for £150,000.
Feeney did not have a great start to his Luton career, scoring only 6 goals in 30 starts and 18 substitute appearances in the 2005-2006 season. He has been commended for his work rate, but often lets himself down in front of goal.
