'''Matthew Judge''' (born 18 January 1985) is an Irish [footballer](/source/Association_football) who plays for [Thurrock](/source/Thurrock_F.C.) in the [Conference South](/source/Conference_South) as a striker.

Judge was with [Tottenham Hotpsur](/source/Tottenham_Hotspur_F.C.) for five seasons before joining [Luton Town](/source/Luton_Town_F.C.).

In 2004, Judge was told that he would not be offered a professional deal and duly departed from [Kenilworth Road](/source/Kenilworth_Road) in a season that had seen him earn his first cap for the [Republic of Ireland U-19](/source/Republic_of_Ireland_national_under-19_football_team) side.

After an unsuccessful trial with [Southend United](/source/Southend_United_F.C.), Judge signed for [Dagenham & Redbridge](/source/Dagenham_%26_Redbridge_F.C.). Unable to break into the first-team on a regular basis at Dagenham, he was released and after spells with [Heybridge Swifts](/source/Heybridge_Swifts_F.C.) and [Harlow Town](/source/Harlow_Town_F.C.), he signed for Sligo Rovers during the summer of 2006.

He is an Irish former U-19 International and has also been called into the [Irish U-21](/source/Republic_of_Ireland_national_under-21_football_team) squad. During December 2008, he was released from Sligo Rovers before signing for [Ebbsfleet United](/source/Ebbsfleet_United_F.C.) in January 2009.<ref>{{cite web|title=Fleet pick-up Judge|publisher=NonLeagueDaily.com|date=2009-01-22| accessdate=2009-01-22|url=http://www.nonleaguedaily.com/news/index.php?&newsmode=FULL&nid=54994|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120903072552/http://www.nonleaguedaily.com/news/index.php?&newsmode=FULL&nid=54994|url-status=usurped|archive-date=3 September 2012}}</ref> He was released by Ebbsfleet and joined [Thurrock](/source/Thurrock_F.C.) in October 2009.
