Dwight Eversley Yorke (born November 3, 1971 in Canaan, Tobago) is a Trinidad and Tobago football player. He has previously played for Sunderland A.F.C., for Aston Villa, Manchester United, Blackburn Rovers, Birmingham City and Sydney FC.
Yorke originally joined Sunderland on Transfer-Deadline day to re-unite with former Manchester United team-mate Roy Keane, Keane has developed Yorke into a holding-midfielder role not like the English fans who used to see Yorke play up-front. At the end of the 2008/2009 season, Yorke was released from Sunderland and is yet to find another club.
