Player Profile – Jay McEveley
James Michael "Jay" McEveley was born on 11 February 111985 in Liverpool
McEveley started his career with Everton, where he played in the same youth team as Wayne Rooney. McEveley never played for the club and moved to Blackburn, where he was seen as a potential star of the future. His bulky build made it seem natural that he would be a centre back but ever since his early professional breakthrough, he has been used by successive managers as a left back.
He made his first team Rovers debut against Walsall in a 2-2 draw in the League Cup on 6 November 2002 and made his Premier League debut a month later in a 1-1 draw at Bolton.
In order to gain competitive match experience McEveley was sent out on loan three times whilst at Blackburn. He started with Burnley on 13 December 2003 in a 2-1 home defeat to Coventry and made a further 3 appearances, all of them as a substitute but in February 2004 dislocated a knee-cap and has had to undergo surgery.
He intermittently featured in the Blackburn first team during this time, including in a match against Liverpool in October 2004 when his fair challenge resulted in a broken leg for Djibril Cisse.
In March 2005 he joined Gillingham on loan in a 1-1 draw at Leeds on 12 March. Three days later he scored his first league goal in a 2-1 home win against Stoke. He stayed for two months making 10 appearances in total.
The 2005/06 season saw him join Ipswich on loan for the full season; his debut was a 2-0 defeat at Sheffield United on 10 September. He scored one league goal with Ipswich in a 3-1 home win on bonfire night against Plymouth. His 19th and last appearance for Ipswich came in the return fixture as Plymouth won 2-1 on 30 April 2006.
McEveley has developed a history of unfortunate involvement in serious injuries - to himself and others.. McEveley was the other party in a training ground incident that left Hakan Sukur a trialist at Blackburn, with a broken leg, whilst Mark Delaney suffered a serious knee injury after a clash with McEveley in 2003.
As he struggled to hold down a regular place at Blackburn, making just 18 appearances, McEveley signed for promotion-for a fee rumoured to be in the region of £600,000.
Replacing previous first choice left back Mo Camara he made his Rams debut in a 2-2 home draw against Hull on 10 February 2007. He made 15 appearances and played in all three play-off matches including 1-0 win over West Brom in the Championship Playoff Final at the newly completed Wembley Stadium.
McEveley played regularly for Derby upon their return to the Premier League and scored his first goal for Derby County against Liverpool, the equaliser, in a 2-1 home defeat on Boxing Day 2007. He sustained knee ligament damage in the 1-0 loss to Bolton on 2 January 2008 after a heavy tackle from Kevin Davies. McEveley scored his second Rams goal against in a 6-2 defeat against Arsenal at Pride Park on 28 April 2007
McEveley began the 2008/09 season as first choice left back, but lost his place to new signing Jordan Stewart. He joined Preston on a one month loan on the 29th September 2008, and made his debut in the 2-0 defeat against Swansea a day later, conceding the penalty that lead to the second goal. McEverly made 7 appearances for the Lilywhites, the last was a 3-2 home defeat to Southampton on 1 November. He returned to Derby and four weeks later and was sent out on loan again, this time for a three month spell with Charlton, making his debut in a 0-0 home draw against Southampton. After 6 appearances he returned from his loan spell early in January 2009 due to injury, and then went on to re-establish himself as the club's first choice left back. On 11 April 2009, in Derby's 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday, McEveley broke a metatarsal in his left foot, and was ruled out for the rest of the season.
McEveley started the 2009/10 season as Derby's second choice left back, behind new signing Dean Moxey. However on 20 October 2009, McEveley fractured his cheekbone in the 20th minute of the game against Middlesbrough, and was initially ruled out for six weeks. Shortly after, he had an operation on his cheekbone. It was later revealed that during the operation, McEveley's heart had stopped beating for two minutes. McEveley was transferred to intensive care after his heart was successfully re-started. His heart was scanned and doctors gave him the all-clear, telling him it would not affect his football
Exactly one month after suffering his injury, McEveley returned to the first team on 20 November 2009. He went on to start eight successive games, playing with a mask to protect his cheekbone. McEveley has since entered into negotiations to sign a new contract, with his current deal expiring at the end of the 2009/10 season having made over 75 appearances for the Rams.
He represented England U-20 once at the 2003 FIFA WorldYouth Championships, but has since chosen to represent Scotland at the U-21 level and two B level caps. McEveley made his debut for Scotland in the 1–0 win over the South African National squad on 22 August 2007. He won his third cap during the 1-1 draw with Croatia at in George Burley’s first match manager as a second half substitute in this match.
