Early and personal life

[edit | edit source]

Lavery attended St Michael's Grammar School in Lurgan.[2] His older brother Conor played youth football for Manchester United.[2]

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Lavery played youth football for Oxford Sunnyside, Portadown and Glenavon.[2] He was an unused substitute for Glenavon's first team in December 2014.[3]

In March 2015, Lavery moved to Everton following a successful trial.[2] On 6 December 2017, Lavery was named in Everton's first-team squad for the Europa League match away to Apollon Limassol but was an unused substitute.[4]

Lavery moved on loan to Scottish Championship club Falkirk in January 2019.[5] Following the end of his loan, Lavery departed Everton at the end of the 2018–19 season.

On 31 May 2019, it was announced that Lavery had joined Linfield on a one-year deal.[6] His deal was then extended by another year in May 2020.[7]

Lavery signed for Blackpool on 1 July 2021 on a two-year contract, with an option of a further 12 months. He scored, deep into injury time, on his debut as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 draw at Bristol City on 7 August.[8]

On 7 May 2024, Blackpool announced the player would be leaving the club in the summer when his contract expired.[9]

On 1 July 2024, Lavery joined League One side Cambridge United on a two-year deal.[10] He scored his first goals for the club on 24 August, in a 4–4 draw with Blackpool in League One.[11]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Lavery played for Northern Ireland at under-17, under-19 and under-21 youth levels.[2][12][13]

He received his first call up to the Northern Ireland senior team in March 2018,[14] and made his senior debut against Panama in May 2018.[15]

Lavery's first international goal came on 2 September 2021 against Lithuania in Vilnius, in a 2022 World Cup qualifier which Northern Ireland went on to win 4–1.
