Career

Manchester City

A defender, Oliver joined the Manchester City Academy at the age of 8.[4] He progressed to sign a professional contract at the age of 18 and broke into the EDS.[5][6] He made three appearances during the EDS' 2017–18 EFL Trophy campaign and spent the second half of the 2017–18 season away on loan.[6][7] Oliver spent much of the first half of the 2018–19 season away on loan and departed at the end of the campaign,[5] when his contract expired.[8]

Fleetwood Town (loan)

On 31 January 2018, Oliver joined League One club Fleetwood Town on loan until the end of the 2017–18 season.[6] He made the first professional appearance of his career three days later, as a substitute for Conor McAleny after 44 minutes of a 3–2 defeat to Scunthorpe United.[7] It proved to be the only appearance of Oliver's spell,[9] as he dropped out of the first team squad after the appointment of new head coach John Sheridan on 22 February 2018.[10] Oliver played for the Development Squad in its run to the 2018 Lancashire Senior Cup Final and departed Highbury when his loan expired.[11][12]

Brentford (loan)

On 31 August 2018, Oliver joined the B team at Championship club Brentford on loan until 1 January 2019.[5] He made 15 appearances for the B team before the expiration of his loan.[13]

Southport

On 15 November 2019, Oliver joined National League North club Southport on a free transfer.[14] On 4 March 2020, three days prior to his 19th and final appearance of the cancelled 2019–20 season,[15][16] it was announced that Oliver had signed a new one-year contract.[17]
