Dean Shiels (b. 1 February 1985, Magherafelt, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland) is a Northern Irish professional footballer currently playing for Hibernian in the Scottish Premier League. He was previously contracted to Arsenal, but made no first team appearances for the club.
In early 2006, Shiels had an operation to remove his right eye. He had been blind in that eye since a domestic accident when he was eight years old. In recent years, the eye had been giving him headaches and other problems, and it was agreed with his club that surgery was the best solution ([1]).
Shiels returned to action later in 2006 ([2]) and re-established himself in the Hibernians' first team squad in the 2006-2007 Scottish football season, scoring in the team's first two league matches.
Shiels won his first Northern Ireland cap against Portugal in November 2005.
