Early life

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]
