Oliver Jacob "Ollie" Bassett (born 6 March 1998) is a footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Dorchester Town on loan from Yeovil Town. He represents Northern Ireland at youth international level.
Club career
Born in Packington, Leicestershire,[1] Bassett started his football career as a youngster in the Aston Villa Academy and as a teenager played futsal.[2] Before signing a scholarship at Southampton in the summer of 2014.[3]
On 19 September 2015, Bassett made his Football League debut for Yeovil Town in a 1–0 victory against Crawley Town,[4] 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.[5] On 3 December 2015, Bassett was awarded his first professional contract with Yeovil Town, committing him to the club until June 2017.[6]
On 13 September 2016, Bassett joined Southern League Premier Division side Dorchester Town on an initial one-month loan deal.[7] 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.[8] Having made four appearances in his first loan spell with Dorchester, Bassett returned on loan to the Southern League club on 28 October 2016.[9]
International career
In August 2016, Bassett was called up to the Northern Ireland under-19 side for a training camp.[10] 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.[11][12] On 6 October 2016, Bassett made his debut for Northern Ireland under-19s against Slovakia in a 1–0 defeat.[13]
