Luke Garbutt

Everton

Born in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, Garbutt attended Harrogate Grammar School where he played in the Year 7 School Football team that reached the Harrogate and District Cup Final in 2005. His impressive performances for his junior club team, Pannal Ash Juniors, saw him signed by Leeds United where he began his professional career. Shortly after leaving school, he was signed from their academy by Everton in 2009, for an initial fee of £600,000 which was set by a tribunal as the two clubs could not agree a fee. He was loaned to Cheltenham Town during the 2011–12 season. In the 2012–13 season Garbutt made his Everton debut, coming on at half-time during a 5–0 League Cup second-round win over Leyton Orient on 29 August 2012. Ahead of the 2013–14 season, Garbutt signed a new two-year contract with Everton, and during the season went to Colchester United on loan. Garbutt made his Premier League debut as a late substitute at Southampton in April 2014 and built on that with his first appearance for England's Under-21s in a 3–1 European Championship qualifying win over Wales the following month.

Garbutt has represented England at under-16, under-17, under-18, under-19, under-20 and under-21 levels.

He made his England U-16 debut against Germany in March 2008 and made his final England U-16 appearance against Scotland in November 2008. Four months earlier, he had made his England U-17 debut against Finland. He helped England win the 2010 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship and played in the final where England beat Spain 2–1. His performances earned him a place in the Team of the Tournament. On 17 May 2013, he was named in manager Peter Taylor's provisional squad for the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Initially he did not make the final 21-man squad, but after Leeds United defender Sam Byram pulled out through injury he was named as his replacement. He made his debut on 16 June, in a 3–0 win in a warm-up game against Uruguay. On 11 August, he was called up to the England under-21 squad to replace Southampton left-back Luke Shaw, for the friendly match against Scotland. Garbutt was an unused substitute as England won the game 6–0.
