Career
Born in Bicester, England, Foley is Oxford United's joint fourth leading goalscorer of all time. He also captained the Republic of Ireland under-21 national team. He had to pull out of playing against Malta for the first team due to Oxford playing a vital league match the same evening and the club would not release him to represent his country. He also played for Gillingham, on loan from Oxford, Bulova in Hong Kong, Iggesund HIF in Sweden, and Exeter City.
He later managed at non-league level taking Isthmian League Premier Division side Marlow to the 3rd round proper of the FA Cup beating his old club Oxford United 2–0 in the first round.
