Josh Magennis (born 15 August, 1990 in Bangor, County Down) is an Northern Ireland footballer currently playing for Football League Championship side Cardiff City

Magennis began his career as an outfield player, playing up front, even representing County Down in the Milk Cup as a youngster, before eventually becoming a goalkeeper. He was a member of the Glentoran youth team before joining the youth team at Cardiff City and has mostly played in the under-18 and reserve team at the club. However on 31 October 2007 Cardiff met Liverpool in the League Cup but with David Forde and on-loan goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel ineligible Magennis took a spot on the bench for the match. Despite not making it on to the pitch in the game he still enjoyed the experience later stating:

"It was an unbelievable experience from start to finish, and hopefully I can play in the first team in the future." [ [http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/local-heroes/article3135901.ece "An-field of dreams for NI teen Josh"] Belfast Telegraph Retrieved on 22 November, 2007]

The decision to include Magennis was controversial due to the fact that he had been called up to the Northern Ireland under-19 team but was not allowed to join the squad by manager Dave Jones due to need to keep the youngster at the team with only one senior goalkeeper for the match. ["Dave is defiant" "News of the World", 28 October 2007] [ [http://www.irelandssaturdaynight.co.uk/kicks/article3130364.ece "Magennis in tug o' war net!"] Belfast Telegraph Retrieved on 22 November, 2007] [ [http://echosport.welshblogs.co.uk/2007/10/goalkeeper_row_with_irish_is_s.html "Goalkeeper row with Irish is resolved"] icWales.co.uk Retrieved on 22 November, 2007]

In April 2008 he reverted to playing as a striker, just before the FAW Welsh Youth Cup final where he came on as a substitiute.
