Club career

Milton Keynes Dons

After moving to England from Zimbabwe at the age of six, Brendan Galloway started playing for Milton Keynes Dons when he joined the club's under-11 side.[4]

He became the youngest first-team player in Milton Keynes Dons' history at 15 years of age after making his debut as 79th-minute substitute in a 6–0 victory at home to Nantwich Town in the FA Cup first round on 12 November 2011.[5] He made his league debut after starting for MK Dons in a 2–1 victory at Rochdale on 28 April 2012.[5] He scored his first senior goal for MK Dons in their 4–1 win over FC Halifax Town on 9 November 2013.[6]

Everton

In August 2014 Everton signed Galloway for an undisclosed fee on a five-year contract.[7] He spent most of his time playing for the reserve team until the very latter of season, he was given a chance and made his début for Everton in a 2-1 away win against West Ham on 16 May 2015.[8] He played at left back in the game and kept the starting line-up in subsequent home game against Tottenham Hotspur.

On the opening day of the 2015-16 season, as regular left back Leighton Baines suffered an ankle injury in training and Luke Garbutt had joined Fulham, Galloway started Everton's match against Watford.[9][10]

Galloway agreed a new contract with Everton on 10 December 2015 and is now contracted to the club until at least June 2020.[11]

International career

Galloway is eligible to play for Zimbabwe or England, having been raised in Harare where he attended St. Michael's Primary School before his family emigrated to England when he was six years old.[12]

He was named in the England U-17 squad for the Nordic tournament in 2012 by Kenny Swain.[13] His first match for England was against the Faroe Islands in August 2012.[14] He has played in England's 2014 UEFA Under-19 Championship qualifying campaign.[15]
