Career

Early career

Born in Sherburn-in-Elmet, North Yorkshire,[1] Webster made his debut for York City against Burton Albion in the Conference National on 29 December 2004.[2] He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–2 draw against Stevenage Borough on 8 January 2005.[2] He finished the 2004–05 season with 16 appearances and one goal.[2] He made four appearances in all competitions in the 2005–06 season.[3] He signed his first professional contract with York in July 2006.[4] He made four appearances in the 2006–07 season,[5] before being released in February 2007 at his own request.[6] He signed for Conference North side Harrogate Town in the same month and made his debut against Scarborough in a 1–0 home defeat on 3 February 2007.[7][8] Whilst being registered with Harrogate, he played three games for Whitby Town in the Northern Premier League Premier Division.[9][10] He ended the season with nine appearances for Harrogate.[8]

FK Baník Most

He signed a one-year contract with Gambrinus liga club FK SIAD Most (known as FK Baník Most from 2008 onwards) in August 2007, with an option of an extension until 2010.[11] He made his debut in a 5–2 defeat against Baník Ostrava on 11 August 2007.[12] The 2007–08 concluded with Most suffering relegation to the Czech 2. Liga, although Webster signed a new two-year contract with the club.[13] He started a trial spell at Scottish Premier League side Motherwell in December 2008.[14] The club entered negotiations over a deal for Webster to sign on loan for the rest of the 2008–09 season.[15]

Doncaster Rovers

Webster had a trial with Bury in July 2009, before leaving to trial with Doncaster Rovers.[16][17] 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.[18][19] He eventually signed for the Championship club on an initial two-year contract for an undisclosed fee on 5 August 2009.[20] Webster made his Doncaster debut in a 1–0 victory away to Notts County in the League Cup first round on 11 August 2009.[21] He joined League Two club Hereford United on a one-month loan on 18 November 2010.[22]

Northampton Town

Webster joined League Two side Northampton Town on loan until the end of the 2010–11 season on 17 March 2011.[23] On 17 May 2011 Webster was released by Doncaster and on the same day Northampton signed him permanently on a two-year contract.[24][25]

Yeovil Town

On 4 July 2012, Webster's contract with Northampton Town was terminated by mutual consent and later that day signed for League One side Yeovil Town on a two-year contract.[26] 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.[27] Webster played in the 2–1 victory over Brentford in the 2013 Football League One play-off Final at Wembley Stadium on 19 May 2013, seeing Yeovil win promotion to the Championship for the first time in their history.[28] He finished the 2012–13 season with 53 appearances and five goals for Yeovil.[29] Webster made 45 appearances and scored four goals in the 2013–14 season as Yeovil were relegated to League One.[30]

Millwall

Webster turned down a new contract with Yeovil to sign a two-year contract with Championship club Millwall on 24 June 2014.[31]

On 19 February 2015, Webster returned to Yeovil on loan until the end of the 2014–15 season.[32]

Personal life

Webster was educated at Sherburn High School and was able to complete a BTEC National Diploma during his footballing career.[33][34]
