Club career

Lo-Everton began his career at Watford, joining the club's academy in 2011.[1] He was featured in The Guardian's Next Generation 2019 list, named as one of the most talented prospects in Premier League academies.[2]

He joined National League club Wealdstone on a short-term loan, helping the club to retain its place in the fifth tier.[3][4] After making several appearances in Watford's pre-season friendlies, Lo-Everton was loaned out again to Yeovil Town at the beginning of the 2021–22 season, reuniting with former Watford youth coach Darren Sarll, and featured in the Glovers' 1–0 victory over League Two Stevenage in the second round of the FA Cup.[5][6]

International career

Despite being born in London, Lo-Everton chose to represent Scotland at international level, qualifying through his grandmother. He was selected at Under-17, Under-18 and Under-19 level.[7]
