In May 2010 Duffy was seriously injured after colliding with a goalkeeper during a training match. He had undergone emergency surgery after lacerating his liver, and losing over three litres of blood in what medical staff described as "freak accident".[13] Two months later, he spoke out about his injury, saying: "I can't thank them enough. I've thanked them so many times and I'll thank them again for being so good at their jobs and saving me. I'm so happy. I appreciate everything they've done for me. It's hard to tell people what it feels like because no one else knows I nearly died. So I just have to live life now, and don't take anything for granted."[14] Duffy made his return from injury, starting the whole game for Everton's Reserves Team in a 2–0 defeat againstSligo Rovers on 8 August 2010.[15]

He has been steady and looked mature in the games he has played.

I've been disappointed with myself and I fully deserved not to be in the team last week. But I'm pleased by the way I've reacted and I'm determined to get back in there."[52] He went on to finish the season by making twenty–two appearances and scoring once in all competitions.
Ahead of the 2015–16 season, Duffy managed to recover from his knee injury and expect to fight his way to the first team for Blackburn Rovers.[53] He made his first appearance of the season, starting the game, in a 2–1 loss againstWolverhampton Wanderers in the opening game of the season.[54] Since returning from injury, Duffy continued to be a first team regular for the side, playing in the centre–back position.[55] On 16 September 2015 he scored his first goal of the season, in a 2–2 draw againstQueens Park Rangers.[56] This was followed up by setting up the club's first goal of the game, in a 3–0 win againstCharlton Athletic.[57] His early season performances were praised in the local press,[58] while his managerPaul Lambert publicly complimented the partnership of Hanley and Duffy.[59] Duffy lost out toSam Byram after making it to the final 3-man shortlist for the December 2015Championship Player of the Month.[60] After the absence of Hanley, Duffy captained Blackburn Rovers for the first time, in a 2–0 loss againstHull City on 12 February 2016.[61] This was followed up by scoring his second goal of the season, in a 3–0 win against Fulham.[62]

At the start of the 2016–17 season, Duffy started the first five matches of the season, including scoring two goals in the League Cup againstMansfield Town andCrewe Alexandra.[68] However, during a league match againstCardiff City, Duffy conceded two own goals and was later sent off in the final minutes of the game.[69]
On 26 August 2016, Duffy signed a four-year deal with fellow Championship sideBrighton & Hove Albion for an undisclosed fee.[70] Earlier the same day, it had been reported byThe Mirror that the transfer cost theSeagulls a club record fee of £4 million, after turning down an extension to his contract at Blackburn Rovers.[71]
Duffy made his debut for Brighton & Hove Albion, playing the whole game in a 2–0 loss againstNewcastle United on 27 August 2016.[72] He helped the side keep four consecutive clean sheets between 13 September 2016 and 27 September 2016 againstHuddersfield Town,Burton Albion,Barnsley andIpswich Town.[73] His performance earned him a nomination for September's Player of the Month but lost out toScott Hogan.[74] A month later, Duffy, once again, kept four consecutive clean sheets between 18 October 2016 and 5 November 2016 against Wolverhampton Wanderers,Wigan Athletic, Norwich City andBristol City.[75] On 13 December 2016 he scored his first goal for the club, in a 3–2 win against Blackburn Rovers.[76] Duffy's second goal then came on 5 February 2017, in a 3–3 draw against Brentford.[77] Duffy was an ever-present in Brighton's backline in his first season at the club, forming a partnership withLewis Dunk.[78] This lasted until he suffered a metatarsal fracture that kept him out for the rest of the 2016–17 season.[79] Despite this, Duffy's contribution has helped Brighton gain promotion to the Premier League in 2016–17 by making over 30 league appearances for the club.[80][81] In the summer following Brighton's promotion, Duffy signed a new contract with the club, extending his stay on the south coast to June 2021.[82]

When you get a player who has been as good as he has been this season, he will be the first one – and he has been – to hold his hand up. You just hope that any mistake you make doesn't lead to a goal. Unfortunately for us it did."[89] On 4 May 2018, Duffy helped Brighton keep a clean sheet and beat Manchester United 1–0 at home to secure their Premier League status.[90] Duffy played in all but one league game as the Sussex club finished 15th in the league.[91]
Brighton played against Manchester United in their second match of the2018–19 season and won 3-2. Duffy scored in that game, helpingthe Seagulls to a second consecutive win over United atFalmer Stadium on 19 August 2018.[92] He scored again on 17 September 2018, sparking Brighton's come back in their eventual 2–2 away draw atSouthampton.[93] Duffy helped the side keep three consecutive clean sheets between 5 October 2018 and 27 October 2018 against West Ham United, Newcastle United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.[94] In a match against Huddersfield Town on 1 December 2018, he scored his third goal of the season in a 1–2 away win.[95] In the next league game against rivalsCrystal Palace, Duffy was shown a straight red card for head buttingPatrick van Aanholt.

After serving a three match suspension, Duffy returned to the starting line–up againstArsenal, as they drew 1–1 on 26 December 2018.[98] A week later on 2 January 2019, he scored his fourth goal of the season, in a 2–2 draw against West Ham United.[99] His fifth goal of the season then came on 9 February 2019, in a 3–1 loss againstBurnley.[100] Duffy played in 5 FA Cup games, as Brighton made it to thesemi-final atWembley, where they were knocked out by the eventual champions,Manchester City.[101] After returning from suspension, he regained his first team place for the rest of the season.[102] On 27 April 2019, Duffy featured in the 1–1 home draw againstNewcastle, helpingthe Seagulls secure a vital point in Brighton's relegation battle againstCardiff.[103] Brighton's Premier league safety was secured on 4 May as a result of Cardiff losing at home toBrighton's bitter rivals, Crystal Palace.[104] This confirmation came exactly a year afterThe Seagulls secured their safety in the2017–18 season.[105] However, after narrowly avoiding relegation,Chris Hughton was dismissed on 13 May, a day after the2018–19 season ended.[106] At the end of the 2018–19 season, Duffy made forty appearances and scored five times in all competitions.

On 2 September 2020, Duffy joinedCeltic on a season-long loan.[113][114] Duffy scored on his Celtic debut in a 5–0 win overRoss County on 12 September.[115] He scored in the next game four days later away atSt Mirren, scoring a header from a free kick to make it two goals in as many games.[116] He made his first UEFA Europa League appearance in over 10 years, helping keep in a clean sheet in a 1–0 away victory overRiga of Latvia in thethird qualifying round to progress into the play-off round.[117] He started in the2020 Scottish Cup Final on 20 December, a game that was delayed until the 2020–21 season due to theCoronavirus pandemic.

He made 27 appearances overall, scoring three goals in a season where Celtic finished asleague runners-up, missing out on 10 titles in a row.[121]
With speculation about Duffy's future withThe Seagulls during pre-season ahead of the2021–22 campaign, Graham Potter toldThe Argus that he had done "really well" since his return from Celtic.[122] Duffy made an appearance in all three friendlies, wearing the number 24 shirt.[123][124][125] On 14 August, he made his first competitiveAlbion appearance since the 2019–20 season, helping Brighton fight back to take all three points in a 2–1 away win atBurnley in the opening game of the season.[126] Duffy scored on his firstAlbion appearance atThe Amex since his return, opening the scoring in the 2–0 home victory overWatford on 21 August in the second game of the season.[127]
On 5 August 2022, Duffy joined newly promoted Premier League clubFulham on a season-long loan deal from Brighton.[128] He made his debut the following day, replacingBobby Decordova-Reid after 94 minutes in a 2–2 home draw againstLiverpool.[129] On 1 February 2023, Duffy's move to Fulham was made permanent.[130]
Duffy was part of theNorthern Ireland youth set-up from the U16 level upward.[132] In July 2008, he was called up to the Northern Ireland U20 squad for theMilk Cup.[133] An U17 regular, he was in the squad for their unsuccessful2009 European Championship qualifying campaign and scored the only goal of the match, a penalty, in the opening game againstLiechtenstein.[134]
Aged 17, Duffy was called up to the senior team in June 2009 for a friendly againstItaly but was an unused substitute.[135] Despite not playing, he was praised by ManagerNigel Worthington, saying: "I would have liked to have given him a little bit. It's unfortunate because he was first class. I had a word with him and, even though he did not play, he has had a great season."[136] In August 2009, he made his Northern Ireland U21 debut, playing the whole match and scoring in the 2–1 away loss toPortugal.[137]
Duffy opted to play for theRepublic of Ireland, for which he was eligible through hisIrish nationality.[2][139] Duffy later reflected on his decision, saying: "It was what I wanted to do. It was difficult for me to leave because of what they've done for me in Northern Ireland since I was young. They brought me through the ranks which gave me the chance to come to Everton. So it was hard to leave all the coaches and all the players, but it was always a case of wanting to come to my own country. I spoke to a couple of people about it because I didn't want to disrespect Northern Ireland, but I just had to do what was best for me and I thought it would be best for me to switch."[140]
Following a discussion with former internationalLiam Brady, Duffy was called up to the Republic of Ireland training camp in May 2010. Everton formally informed theIFA of Duffy's change in allegiance,[141] and the player was called up for a training camp squad for the Republic of Ireland squad to take place in May 2010.[142] At the camp Duffy suffered a 'freak' injury, during a match between the Republic of Ireland development squad and the Ireland amateur side, when he collided with goalkeeper Adrian Walsh and had to undergo lifesaving surgery at theMater Hospital after damaging his liver[143] and was discharged six days later after making a full recovery.[144] Although it was expected to take a number of months for him to recuperate and regain his fitness, Duffy returned to action in little over ten weeks after his injury and has appeared for Republic of Ireland under-19 and under-21 squads throughout 2010.[145] He was called up for the U21 friendly versusPortugal in March 2011.[146] Duffy then scored his first Republic of Ireland U21 goal, in a 4–1 win againstLiechtenstein U21 on 11 October 2011.[147] Two years later, he was given the armband for the U21 side, leading the side for the rest of 2013.[148] Duffy went on to make twenty appearances and scoring once for the Republic of Ireland U21 side.
Players such as Duffy,James McClean,Daniel Kearns,Darron Gibson andMarc Wilson had represented Northern Ireland at youth level but later opted to play for Republic of Ireland. TheIFA disputed the players' right to do so underFIFA rules[149] and felt the current rules were a "clear disadvantage over all other 206 Associations".[150] TheIrish Football Association took a case to theCourt of Arbitration for Sport with the hope of getting FIFA to 'uphold' the rules.[151] Although Duffy's name is often linked with this dispute and the IFA appeal to theCourt of Arbitration for Sport, his situation differs from that of players such asDarron Gibson because of his close family ties toCounty Donegal. This means he would have been eligible to play for the Republic of Ireland wherever he was born.
On 13 February 2012, less than two years after sustaining a life-threatening injury, Duffy received a call-up to the Republic of Ireland senior squad, replacing the injuredRichard Dunne.[152] At the same month, he expressed his desire to earn a place for the national team for theUEFA Euro 2012.[153] Duffy, however, failed to make the final cut, which left him "disappointed".[154][20] On 1 November 2012, Duffy was named in the provisional 26-man Republic of Ireland squad for the friendly fixture against Greece on 14 November 2012.[155] Duffy received his next call-up on 9 May 2014 when he was included in the 32-man provisional squad ahead of friendlies against Turkey, Italy, Costa Rica and Portugal.[156]
Duffy had his international debut in June 2014 lining up againstCosta Rica in a friendly inPhiladelphia.[157] Two years later, he made his second appearance for Ireland against Switzerland, winning theMan of the Match award, setting upCiaran Clark for the only goal of the game.[158][159] He was called up forEuro 2016, but was an unused sub for the first two matches againstSweden andBelgium.[160] In the final group game of the tournament Duffy came into the team and a heroic performance helped secure an historic victory against Italy to propel the Republic of Ireland into the last sixteen.[161] He was sent off for a professional foul onAntoine Griezmann as the Republic of Ireland were knocked out Euro 2016, losing 2–1 toFrance.[162]
A year later, on 2 September 2017, Duffy scored his first Republic of Ireland goal, in a 1–1 draw againstGeorgia.[163] Two months later, Duffy played in both legs of theWorld Cup Play–Offs for a place in the World Cup against Denmark, which he scored the opening goal in the second leg, as Republic of Ireland lost 5–1 on aggregate and Denmark qualified for the2018 FIFA World Cup.[164] On 7 June 2019, Duffy scored an 85th minute headed equalizer for the Republic of Ireland againstDenmark in aEuro 2020 qualifier, securing a 1–1 draw and preserving Ireland's unbeaten start to the campaign.[165] On 18 November 2019, he captained Republic of Ireland for the first time, as they drew 1–1 against Denmark.[166]He retained the captaincy inStephen Kenny's first game in charge of Ireland on 3 September 2020, scoring with an injury time header in the 1–1 draw withBulgaria in theUEFA Nations League.[167]
Duffy made his 50th appearance for the Republic of Ireland on 11 November 2021, helping keep a clean sheet in the goalless2022 World Cup qualifier tie at home againstPortugal.[168] Three days and one cap later, Duffy scored the opening goal, a header from a free kick, in an eventual 3–0 away win overLuxembourg, coming in the dead rubber World Cup qualifier.[169]
Duffy said he is close friends with former teammate,Darron Gibson.[170] Duffy attended a St. Anne's school in Ireland, and supportedCeltic growing up.[6] Duffy has two children.[171]
Duffy once ranked Wigan Athletic's supporters as "the worst fans in England" and compared the atmosphere at the DW Stadium to a "library".[172] In December 2017, he was fined £811 after being convicted of speeding by breaking a 30 mph limit in his Mercedes.[173] In May 2020, Duffy's father, Brian, died aged 53.[174] He previously suffered a family bereavement that saw him miss a match during his playing career.[175]
In 2017, Duffy tweeted a tribute toProvisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) leaderMartin McGuinness upon his death. He faced online criticism and his club, Brighton, requested he remove the tribute.[176] He had previously been criticised over tweets from his account in support of the IRA, although he claimed not to be responsible.[177]
In 2024, prior toNorwich City's play-off semi-final fixture againstLeeds United, Duffy was arrested and subsequently charged with "driving while unfit through drink" after an alleged incident inHethersett,Norfolk, close to his home.[178] After pleading guilty to the charge he was banned from driving for three years.[179]
