Early life

[edit]

Jebbison was born in Oakville, Ontario and began playing soccer at the ANB Futbol youth academy.[4] He lived in Canada until he was 13; in 2017 he relocated to England with his family and they settled in Derby, with Jebbison attending Derby Moor Academy in the Littleover region of Derby.[5] Jebbison joined the Sheffield United Academy in 2018 after a successful trial.[6]

Club career

[edit]

Sheffield United

[edit]

After passing through Sheffield United's U18 and U23 development sides, he joined Chorley on a short-term loan on 24 December 2020,[7] having played for them twice.[8] Soon after returning to Sheffield United, he made his professional debut with them in a 2–0 Premier League loss to Crystal Palace on 8 May 2021.[5][9] Jebbison scored his first goal for the club against Everton on 16 May, becoming the youngest player to score in their first start in the Premier League.[10] On 21 May, he signed his first professional contract.[11]

On 31 August 2021, Jebbison joined League One Burton Albion on loan.[12] On 11 September he made his debut for his loan club, coming off the bench in a 1–1 draw against Gillingham.[13] A couple weeks later on 28 September, Jebbison scored his first goal for Burton in a 2–1 home win against Portsmouth in league action.[14] Jebbison was recalled by Sheffield United on 31 January 2022.[15]

Bournemouth

On 10 July 2024, Jebbison signed for Premier League club Bournemouth on a four-year deal; although his contract with Sheffield United had expired, Bournemouth reportedly paid a £1.5 million training fee in compensation.[16]

On 30 August 2024, Jebbison joined Championship club Watford on a season-long loan deal.[17] However, he was recalled to Bournemouth on 8 January 2025 after a disappointing spell with the Hertfordshire side, combined with the long-term injuries to both strikers Evanilson and Enes Ünal. His first league goal for Bournemouth came in a 3-1 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on 20 May 2025.[18]

On 17 June 2022, Jebbison was included in the England U19 squad for the 2022 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[24] He scored against Serbia during the group stage.[25] England won the tournament with a 3–1 extra time victory over Israel on 1 July 2022.[26]
