Colm Foley (born 30 May 1979 in Dublin) is an Irish football player who was forced to retire due to injury in January 2008 while playing for St Patrick's Athletic in the League of Ireland.

Career

Foley was a central defender and played schoolboy football for Belvedere and Manorton United. In 1998 he signed for Drogheda United and soon established himself in the first team. In the summer of 2000 Pat Dolan signed Foley for St Patrick's Athletic. He initially played as a deep holding midfielder but soon settled as a centre half alongside fellow new signing Darragh Maguire. In 2001/2002 season Foley played a huge part in the St. Pats side that finished top of the table, only for the FAI to deduct points for player registration irregularities. When Paul Osam retired in 2004, Foley was given the honour of club captain. Early in 2005, Foley suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury and missed nearly 12 months of football. He returned to the St Pats side in July 2006 but persistent injuries led to his eventual retirement in January 2008.

He is now part of the Monday Night Soccer programme [1].
