How Many England Caps Does Conor Coady Have?
Conor Coady’s International Debut
- Made his senior England debut on 12 November 2020 in a friendly against Wales — BBC Sport (same source as first link).
- He was called up by Gareth Southgate and earned a total of 10 caps between 2020 and 2022.
Coady’s 10 caps place him among the more experienced defenders in the England setup during that period, though he never became a regular starter at major tournaments.
Conor Coady’s England Goals
The defender has not scored for the senior England team. His role as a centre-back in Southgate’s system meant goal contributions were never expected, but it’s still a notable blank on his international record.
Conor Coady’s Last Cap
His most recent appearance came in 2022, and he has not been called up since. The rise of other centre-backs (such as John Stones, Harry Maguire, and Marc Guéhi) essentially closed the door on his international career.
The implication: Coady’s England chapter is almost certainly closed after 10 caps and zero goals — a respectable but limited international stint for a player once seen as a reliable back‑up.
Conor Coady earned 10 England caps between 2020 and 2022, making him a capped international but unlikely to add more; his international career is effectively over.
Is Conor Coady Injured?
Recent Injury History
- He missed several weeks in early 2025 due to a thigh injury — BBC Sport (same source as first link).
- That injury coincided with his drop from Wrexham’s starting lineup.
After returning, he was still not selected regularly, suggesting the injury may not have been the only reason for his absence.
Current Injury Status
As of late 2025, Coady’s injury status is unclear. Some reports indicate he is fit but was omitted from Wrexham’s matchday squads for tactical reasons rather than physical condition — talkSPORT (same source as earlier). He has since been training with Liverpool’s under‑21 side, which suggests he is healthy enough to play.
The catch: Without an official medical update from Wrexham or Coady himself, we can only rely on player availability patterns. The pattern points to tactical exclusion, not long‑term injury.
If Coady signs a new club in the coming months, his fitness will be tested again. For now, he appears fit but unattached.
The takeaway: Coady is fit enough to train with Liverpool’s U21s, but his lack of game time at Wrexham appears to be a tactical decision rather than an injury issue.
Conor Coady missed early 2025 with a thigh injury but now seems fit; his exclusion from Wrexham’s squad was likely tactical, not injury-related.
How Much Is Conor Coady Earning at Wrexham?
Reported Wage Estimates
- Exact figures are not publicly disclosed, but reports suggest his wages at Wrexham were significantly less than his previous deal at Wolverhampton Wanderers — talkSPORT (same source as earlier).
- The transfer fee was reported at around £2 million — talkSPORT (same source).
Wrexham operate under League One salary constraints, and Coady’s move was seen as a step down financially — a trade‑off for regular football and the appeal of the club’s famous owners.
Contract Length
His loan initially ran until the end of the 2025–26 season, but the contract included a mutual option that was never exercised. The deal was described as a two‑year agreement — talkSPORT (same source).
The pattern: Coady went from a long‑term Wolves contract to short‑term deals, reflecting a shift from established Premier League player to veteran on the move.
Conor Coady’s salary at Wrexham is undisclosed but likely much lower than his Wolves wages; his two-year deal ended with mutual termination.
Is Conor Coady Married?
Conor Coady’s Wife and Children
Coady is married to Amie Coady. The couple have three children together. While these details are widely reported in the media, neither Coady nor his representatives have publicly confirmed specific financial or personal details beyond general references in interviews — talkSPORT (family mention).
Wedding Details
They married in 2018 in a private ceremony. Additional information about the wedding (venue, date) has not been officially released.
The trade‑off: Coady keeps his personal life relatively private, so much of what is known comes from secondary sources rather than direct interviews.
Conor Coady is married to Amie Coady and they have three children; his personal life is kept private but is widely reported.

Loan to Wrexham

- He started the 2025–26 season in the lineup but fell out of favour after five games — BBC Sport (same source).

Potential Coaching Role

Why this matters: Coady is effectively auditioning for a coaching role while keeping his playing options alive. His experience as a captain and England international makes him a strong candidate for a dual role.
