Club career

Everton

Born in Harrogate, North Yorkshire,[1] 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.[3] 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,[4] 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[5] 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.[6]

Cheltenham Town (loan)

In September 2011 he joined Cheltenham Town on an initial one-month loan deal.[7] He made his professional debut as Cheltenham beat Wycombe Wanderers 3–1 on 4 October 2011 in the Football League Trophy.[8] His FA Cup debut was memorable as Cheltenham were drawn away to Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur; the game ended 3–0 to Tottenham.[9] He continued to extend his loan spell and on 31 January 2012 scored his first goal, a free kick in a 3–1 win away at Macclesfield, sending Cheltenham to the top of the league in the process.[10] He scored again in the following game, netting the opening goal against Crawley Town from outside the area.[11] On 13 February he extended his loan spell by a further five weeks.[12]

Colchester United (loan)

On 13 September 2013, Garbutt joined League One side Colchester United on an initial 28-day loan.[13] He made his debut the following day, in a 2–2 draw against Bradford City at Valley Parade.[14] On 28 January 2014, Everton recalled Garbutt from his loan spell following the lengthy injury to Bryan Oviedo.[15]

Return to Everton

After making his first start for the club at the beginning of the 2014–15 season in a League Cup defeat to Swansea City in September,[16] Garbutt started the final two UEFA Europa League group stage games, helping Everton finish top of the group with a clean sheet in a 2–0 win away to Wolfsburg.[17] Garbutt was part of the starting 11 in both legs of the Europa League round of 16 tie against Swiss side BSC Young Boys in February, Everton progressing 7–2 on aggregate.[18][19] This was the beginning of an extended run in the first team for Garbutt, starting in the following Premier League game against Arsenal,[20] taking advantage of an injury to regular left-back Leighton Baines to maintain his place in the starting 11.[21]

On 30 June 2015, Everton announced that Garbutt had signed new five-year deal with the club.[22]

Fulham (loan)

On 25 July 2015, Garbutt was loaned to Championship side Fulham for the 2015–16 season.[23] He made his debut on 4 October 2015, in a 2–2 draw with Charlton Athletic at The Valley.[24] He scored his first goal for Fulham in a 2–2 draw with Bolton Wanderers on 19 December 2015.[25] He returned from his loan spell having made 26 appearances for the London club, scoring once.[24]

Wigan Athletic (loan)

On 16 August 2016, Garbutt returned to the Championship, joining newly promoted Wigan Athletic on a four-and-a-half-month loan.[26] He made his debut for the club on 20 August 2018, in a 4–3 defeat to Nottingham Forest. Garbutt made 8 appearances for Wigan during his loan spell with the club.[24]

Oxford United (loan)

On 2 July 2018, Garbutt joined League One club Oxford United on a season-long loan.[27] He scored his first goal for the club on 19 February 2019, in a 4–2 defeat to Accrington Stanley. He made 36 appearances in all competitions during his time at the Kassam Stadium, scoring 4 goals.[24]

On 12 July 2019, he joined Ipswich Town on a season long loan deal.[28] His scored his first goal for the club on his debut on 3 August 2019, netting the winning goal in a 1–0 away win against Burton Albion on the opening day of the 2019–20 season.[29] He made 30 appearances during his loan spell at Ipswich, scoring 6 goals, including two long-range free-kicks against Tranmere Rovers and Lincoln City.[30]

On 26 June 2020, it was announced that Garbutt would leave Everton at the end of the month upon the expiration of his contract, ending his 11-year association with the club.[31][32]

He helped England win the 2010 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship and played in the final where England beat Spain 2–1.[37] His performances earned him a place in the Team of the Tournament.[38]

On 17 May 2013, he was named in manager Peter Taylor's provisional squad for the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[39] 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.[40] He made his debut on 16 June, in a 3–0 win in a warm-up game against Uruguay.[41]
