He made his debut with the first team in a friendly match against Stevenage Borough in July 2007. On 29 February 2008 he joined Milton Keynes Dons on a month-long loan deal.[4] On 11 July 2008, he was loaned for six months to League one side, Crewe Alexandra.[5] However, in a friendly with Non-League side Wrexham, the midfielder fractured his fibula and subsequently returned to Tottenham to receive treatment which kept him sidelined for a protracted spell.[6] Livermore signed a new two-year deal with Tottenham on 24 July 2009 and, on the same day, he scored his first goal for Spurs, a header in a 1–1 friendly draw against Barcelona in the Wembley Cup. In a post-game interview, when asked by a reporter, "What is it like to score against the best team in the world?", Livermore replied "Score against the best team in the world? I play for them."; a comment welcomed by many Tottenham fans.

He joined Derby County on an initial one-month loan on 10 August 2009.[7] He scored his first league goal against Nottingham Forest in a 3–2 defeat.[8] In January 2010, he joined Championship club Peterborough United until the end of the 2009–10 season.[9] He scored his first goal for Peterborough in a 2–1 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday on 23 January 2010.[10] On 2 March 2010 he was recalled from his loan due to a spate of injuries to the Tottenham squad. Livermore finally made his first-team debut for Tottenham as a late substitute against Stoke City on 20 March 2010.

On 23 September 2010, he was loaned out to Championship club Ipswich Town until January.[11] On 24 March 2011 he was loaned out to championship side Leeds United ahead of their final eight league games and battle for promotion to the Premier League.[12] On 2 April, Livermore made his debut for Leeds as a second-half substitute against Nottingham Forest where he had a hand in Leeds' fourth goal scored by Max Gradel.[13] Livermore was given a start against Reading however he was substituted at half time after picking up a yellow card and lucky not to receive another for a tackle in the first half.[14]

Livermore stayed with Tottenham 2011–12 season, scoring his first senior goal for Spurs on 18 August 2011 in the UEFA Europa League qualifier against Heart of Midlothian.,[15] and ultimately made 38 appearances across all competitions.
