Shayne Francis Lavery (born 8 December 1998) is a Northern Irish professional footballer who plays as a striker for Blackpool and the Northern Ireland national team. He has previously played for Everton, Falkirk and Linfield.

Early and personal life

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

Club career

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]

International career

Lavery played for Northern Ireland at under-17, under-19 and under-21 youth levels.[2][9][10]

He received his first call up to the Northern Ireland senior team in March 2018,[11] and made his senior debut against Panama in May 2018.[12]

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.
