Club career
Barkley joined Everton as an 11-year old and played for the club's youth teams. He was named as a substitute in a first team league game in early 2010–11, and was expected to make his Premier League debut[2] before his leg was broken in three places after a collision with Liverpool's Andre Wisdom during an England under-19 match in October 2010.[3] Prior to the injury, he had been an unused substitute against Newcastle United in September.
He recovered from his injury in time to join the first team for pre-season training before the beginning of 2011–12. He made his debut in Everton's first game of the season, a 1–0 defeat to Queens Park Rangers, and was named man of the match by Radio City Sport.[4] His early performances were highly praised, with Martin Keown predicting that "[Barkley will] be one of the best players we'll ever see in this country."[5] On 16 December 2011, it was announced that Barkley had signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract to keep him at Everton until the end of the 2016 season.[6]
International career
Barkley has represented England at under-16, under-17, under-19 and under-21 level. He was first called up for the under-16 level in September 2008, aged 14.[7] He is also eligible to play for Nigeria.[8]
He was selected to play in the 2009 Montaigu Tournament and captained the team to success, beating Germany 2–1 on penalties in the final.[9] He also helped England win the 2010 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship with two goals on route to the final where England beat Spain 2–1.[10] Barkley was called up to the England U-21 squad in August 2011.[11]
Personal life
Barkley grew up in the Wavertree area of Liverpool.[8] As a schoolboy, he won the Liverpool Echo Cup in 2008 at Anfield, captaining his school Broadgreen International School and scoring two goals in the final.[12]
