Early life

Overton spent time in the youth sides at both Peterborough United and Norwich City. Overton was also a talented tennis player and had to choose between following a football or tennis career. His initial focus had been on tennis whilst at Town Close School in Norwich, becoming Norfolk #1 approaching his teens. Consequently, he did not play much football before he was 13 and began attending Hethersett Academy in Norfolk. [2] [3] From the age of 14 Overton focused more on football. He signed a professional contract with Peterborough in May 2022 shortly after his 17th birthday. [4]

Career

Overton made his professional football debut as a 77th minute substitute for Ricky-Jade Jones in Peterborough's 2–0 EFL Cup first round win at Home Park against Plymouth Argyle on 10 August 2022, aged 17yrs 174dys, claiming an assist for Peterborough’s second goal. [5] Injuries cut short Overton’s 2022/23 season. Fully recovered for the 2023/24 season Overton had hit 12 goals during pre-season and U21 fixtures at the Christmas 2023 break, including goals away at Liverpool and Aston Villa. Fine form that earned him a place on the bench for the FA Cup replay away at Salford on November 14 (Salford 4-4 Peterborough)... 5-4 to Peterborough on penalties.

In February 2024, Overton joined National League North side Peterborough Sports on a one-month loan deal. [6] He made his debut on 20 February 2024, playing 64 minutes in a 2–1 victory over Curzon Ashton. [7]

On 12 May 2024, Peterborough announced he would be released in the summer once his contract expired. [8]
