Oliver Jacob Bassett (born 6 March 1998) is a footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for New Zealand Football Championship side Waitakere United. He has represented Northern Ireland at youth international level.

Club career

Born in Packington, Leicestershire,[2] Bassett started his football career as a youngster in the Aston Villa Academy and as a teenager played futsal.[3] Before signing a scholarship at Southampton in the summer of 2014.[4]

On 19 September 2015, Bassett made his Football League debut for Yeovil Town in a 1–0 victory against Crawley Town,[5] at the age of just 17 years, 6 months and 13 days he broke the record for the youngest Yeovil player in the Football League.[6] On 3 December 2015, Bassett was awarded his first professional contract with Yeovil Town, committing him to the club until June 2017.[7]

On 13 September 2016, Bassett joined Southern League Premier Division side Dorchester Town on an initial one-month loan deal.[8] Bassett made his debut the following day as a second-half substitute in Dorchester's 4–0 victory against Frome Town, with Bassett providing the assist for the fourth goal.[9] Having made four appearances in his first loan spell with Dorchester, Bassett returned on loan to the Southern League club on 28 October 2016.[10]

On 3 February 2017, Bassett joined Dorchester for a third loan spell.[11]

At the end of the 2016–17 season, Bassett was released by Yeovil having only made two appearances for the club.[12]

On 9 August 2017, Bassett signed for Northern Premier League Premier Division club Coalville Town on a one year contract.[13]

Following his release from Coalville, Bassett secured a contract with New Zealand Football Championship side Waitakere United.[14]

International career

In August 2016, Bassett was called up to the Northern Ireland under-19 side for a training camp.[15] Bassett did enough to impress the Northern Ireland coaching staff to receive a call-up for their 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification matches in October 2016.[16][17] On 6 October 2016, Bassett made his debut for Northern Ireland under-19s against Slovakia in a 1–0 defeat.[18]
