Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Dominic Nathaniel Calvert-Lewin (born 16 March 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Leeds United.

Calvert-Lewin began his career at local club Sheffield United, making his senior debut on loan at Conference North club Stalybridge Celtic in December 2014. He spent the first half of the 2015–16 season on loan at Northampton Town in League Two, and in August 2016, he joined Everton for a fee of £1.5 million. He has played over 200 games and scored over 50 goals for Everton.

Calvert-Lewin was part of the England under-20 team that won the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup, scoring the winning goal in the final. He made his debut for the England national team in October 2020 and subsequently scored in a 3–0 friendly win against Wales at Wembley Stadium.

Calvert-Lewin joined the Youth Academy of Sheffield United on 28 April 2005. After progressing through the ranks of Sheffield United youth team, he signed a scholarship with the academy when he was sixteen. At this level, he played as a box-to-box midfielder.

Calvert-Lewin appeared in the first team as an unused substitute, in a 2–1 win over Aston Villa in the third round of FA Cup on 4 January 2014. After this, he was awarded for the League Football Education's 'The 11'.

On 24 December 2014, Calvert-Lewin was loaned out to Conference North team Stalybridge Celtic for a youth loan, where he began to play as a centre forward. Two days later, he scored twice on his debut, in a 4–2 win at Hyde United and scored against them again in the reverse fixture on 1 January, in a 7–1 win. At the beginning of February 2015, Calvert-Lewin returned to his parent club, having scored six times in five appearances.

In early April 2015, he signed a new long-term deal to keep him contracted to Sheffield United until summer 2018. Calvert-Lewin made his professional debut for the senior team on 25 April in League One, in a 1–1 draw away at Leyton Orient as a 66th-minute substitute. At the end of the 2014–15 season, he went on to make two appearances. In the club's pre-season tour ahead of the 2015–16 season, Calvert-Lewin scored in a friendly match, in a 1–0 win over Ilkeston on 9 July.

On 7 August 2015, Calvert-Lewin joined League Two club Northampton Town on loan until January. He made his debut four days later, scoring in a 3–0 home win against Blackpool in the first round of the Football League Cup. Despite being keen to extend his loan at the club, this did not materialise. By the time he left, he had made 26 appearances and scored eight times across all competitions.
