Matthew Bryant (born 21 September 1970)[3] is an English-born former professional footballer who played as a midfielder in the Football League in the 1990s.

Born in Bristol, he started his career with Bristol City in 1990-91, and after a short loan spell with Walsall went on to make over 200 appearances for Bristol City, scoring 7 goals for them in all competitions.[4]
