Wesley "Wes" Hoolahan is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for English club Norwich City and the Republic of Ireland national team.

Hoolahan began his playing career with Shelbourne and has previously played for Livingston and Blackpool. He was the subject of a contested transfer between these two clubs in 2007, eventually requiring mediation by FIFA before he was able to sign for Blackpool. Hoolahan has played more than 200 games for Norwich, where he was nicknamed The Irish Messi or Wessi. In August 2014 Hoolahan signed a new contract to keep him at the club until the end of the 2016–17 season. On 19 April 2015, Hoolahan was selected in the The Football Manager Team of the Decade at the Football League Awards.

On 29 March 2015, Hoolahan started Ireland's crucial Euro Qualifier against Poland in the Aviva Stadium. The game finished 1-1 with Hoolahan getting the assist for Shane Long's injury time equaliser. Hoolahan picked up the man of the match award with Johnny Giles and Eamon Dunphy praising his performance.
