David Michael Bentley (born 27 August 1984 in Peterborough[1]) is an English footballer who plays for Blackburn Rovers. He can play in several positions across the midfield, but he has been utilised most effectively as a winger. Bentley started his career with Arsenal, and despite being earmarked as one for the future, saw his playing opportunities limited by a strong senior squad. He spent two seasons on loan with Norwich City and Blackburn, and sealed a permanent transfer to Rovers in January 2006. Bentley produced strong performances for his new club, and soon featured regularly for the England national under-21 football team. In May 2007 he was named for the first time in his career as part of the England senior team due to play a Euro 2008 qualifier, and made his full international debut by coming on as a substitute against Israel on 8 September 2007.
