Born in Sheffield, England, the Englishman began his prospects as a footballer with local side Sheffield United's youth academy in 2005. After progressing through the ranks the youngster signed a long term contract with The Blades tying him up with the club till 2018, before making his senior team debut in April 2015 in a 1-1 draw against League One opposition Leyton Orient. The 2015/16 season would see him move to League Two side Northampton Town on loan in search of regular first team football, the striker made a total of 26 appearances for The Cobblers, scoring 8 times before he was recalled by his parent club in January 2016. Upon his return he would feature sparingly for the club finishing off the season with 9 League One appearances to his name. It was hinted that the youngster was on the cusp of breaking in to the first team, however, before the start of the 2016/17 season the striker decided to sign with Premier League club Everton, an opportunity he reckoned was too good to resist. His debut for the Merseyside club came in a 2-1 victory against Arsenal on December 2016. The striker would miss two months due to an injury but scored his first goal for his new club on his return against Hull City in a 4-0 win. He finished his first season with 11 appearances. His second season at the club would see him establish himself as their first choice striker, making 44 overall appearances, 32 of them coming in the Premier League, with a combined tally of 15 goals and assists. The striker was a part of England's FIFA U20 World Cup win in South Korea, scoring two goals, with one of them being the winning goal in a 1-0 win over Venezuela in the final.
