Byron Clark Webster (born 31 March 1987) is an English professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for EFL League Two club Bromley.

Early and personal life[edit]

Webster was born in Leeds, West Yorkshire,[5] and raised in Sherburn in Elmet, North Yorkshire.[6] He was educated at Sherburn High School and was able to complete a BTEC National Diploma during his footballing career.[7][8]

Career[edit]

Early career[edit]

Webster made his first-team debut for York City against Burton Albion in the Conference National on 29 December 2004.[9] He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–2 draw against Stevenage Borough on 8 January 2005.[9] He finished the 2004–05 season with 16 appearances and one goal.[9] He made four appearances in all competitions in 2005–06.[10] He signed his first professional contract with York in July 2006.[11] He made four appearances in 2006–07,[12] before being released in February 2007 at his own request.[13] After his release, Webster contemplated retiring and enrolling in university.[14] He signed for Conference North club Harrogate Town in the same month and made his debut against Scarborough in a 1–0 home defeat on 3 February 2007.[15][16] Whilst being registered with Harrogate, he played three games for Whitby Town in the Northern Premier League Premier Division.[17][18] He ended the season with nine appearances for Harrogate.[16]

Baník Most[edit]

Webster signed a one-year contract with Czech First League club FK SIAD Most (known as FK Baník Most from 2008 onwards) in August 2007, with an option of an extension until 2010.[19] He made his debut in a 5–2 defeat against Baník Ostrava on 11 August 2007.[20] The 2007–08 concluded with Most suffering relegation to the Czech 2. Liga, although Webster signed a new two-year contract with the club.[21] He started a trial spell at Scottish Premier League club Motherwell in December 2008.[22] The club entered negotiations over a deal for Webster to sign on loan for the rest of the 2008–09 season.[23]

Doncaster Rovers[edit]

Webster had a trial with Bury in July 2009, before leaving to trial with Doncaster Rovers.[24][25] He gave a "composed performance" in a pre-season friendly against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Doncaster manager Sean O'Driscoll was looking to complete a deal for him to sign for the club.[26][27] He eventually signed for the Championship club on an initial two-year contract for an undisclosed fee on 5 August 2009.[28] Webster made his Doncaster debut in a 1–0 victory away to Notts County in the League Cup first round on 11 August 2009.[29] He joined League Two club Hereford United on 18 November 2010 on a one-month loan.[30]

Northampton Town[edit]

On 17 March 2011, Webster joined League Two club Northampton Town on loan until the end of 2010–11.[31] On 17 May 2011, Webster was released by Doncaster and on the same day Northampton signed him permanently on a two-year contract.[32][33]

Yeovil Town[edit]

On 4 July 2012, Webster's contract with Northampton Town was terminated by mutual consent and later that day signed for League One club Yeovil Town on a two-year contract.[34] He scored his first goal for Yeovil in 2–1 victory over Bury, after an attempted clearance from a corner struck him, sending it into the goal.[35] Webster played in the 2–1 victory over Brentford in the 2013 League One play-off finalatWembley Stadium on 19 May 2013, seeing Yeovil win promotion to the Championship for the first time in their history.[36] He finished 2012–13 with 53 appearances and five goals for Yeovil.[37] Webster made 45 appearances and scored four goals in 2013–14[38] as Yeovil were relegated to League One in bottom place.[39]

Millwall[edit]

Webster turned down a new contract with Yeovil to sign a two-year contract with Championship club Millwall on 24 June 2014.[40]

On 19 February 2015, Webster returned to Yeovil Town on loan until the end of the 2014–15 season.[41]

On 20 May 2017, Webster started for Millwall as they beat Bradford City 1–0 at Wembley Stadium in the 2017 League One play-off final, earning promotion back to the Championship after a two-year absence.[42]

He was offered a new contract by Millwall at the end of the 2017–18 season.[43]

Scunthorpe United[edit]

Webster signed for League One club Scunthorpe United on 4 January 2019 on a contract until the end of the 2018–19 season.[44] He was released by Scunthorpe at the end of 2018–19.[45]

Carlisle United[edit]

Webster signed for League Two club Carlisle United on 24 June 2019 a one-year contract.[46]

Bromley[edit]

On 7 September 2020, it was announced that Webster had signed for National League Club Bromley, linking up with former Millwall teammate Alan Dunne. [47]
