Tyler-Jay Robert Dibling (born 17 February 2006) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club Everton.

Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Born in Exeter, Dibling started his career with local side Axminster Town AFC, where his father Sam played for the men's team.[4] He joined Millwey Rise FC at the age of five, spending two years with the youth side.[5]

He joined Southampton in 2012, also spending a year with Exeter City at the age of seven, before signing a professional contract with The Saints in October 2021.[4][5] In April 2022, he scored a hat-trick of near-identical goals in a Premier League 2 match against Newcastle United, with a video of the goals going viral.[2]

Having been named on the bench for a Premier League game against Brentford, in which he did not feature, Dibling drew attention from Newcastle United and Chelsea.[2][6]

He joined the latter in July 2022, after ten years with Southampton, with the promise of a professional contract once he turned seventeen.[2][7][8] However, after failing to settle at Chelsea, making only two appearances for the club's under-18 side, he returned to Southampton in September 2022,[2] reportedly because of "homesickness".[9]

Southampton

[edit]

Dibling signed a scholarship deal with Southampton on 17 September 2022, stating that the club felt like a "second home" to him.[10][11][12] He was seen as one of the brightest prospects in Southampton's academy.[2][13] On 22 February 2023, Dibling signed his first professional contract.[14] On 18 December 2023, he signed a new contract, keeping him at the club until 2026.[15]

Dibling made his first professional appearance on 8 August 2023 in a 3–1 defeat to Gillingham in the EFL Cup, replacing Jayden Meghoma in the 85th minute.[16] On 13 January 2024, he made his first league appearance for the club in a 4–0 victory against Sheffield Wednesday, coming on as a substitute for Ryan Fraser in the 88th minute.[17]

On 17 August 2024, Dibling made his first Premier League appearance in a 1–0 away defeat against Newcastle United after he replaced Joe Aribo in the 70th minute.[18][19] On 21 September, he scored his first professional goal in a 1–1 draw against Ipswich Town.[20]

Everton

[edit]

On 25 August 2025, Dibling joined Everton on a four-year contract,[21] for a reported transfer fee of an initial £35 million plus £5m in potential add-ons.[22]

International career

[edit]

Dibling has represented England at the under-16, under-17 and under-18 levels.[1] On 17 May 2023, Dibling was named in the England squad for the 2023 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[23] He made his England under-18 debut on 6 September 2023 during a 2–0 defeat to France in Limoges.[24] On 2 November 2023, Dibling was included in the England squad for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[25] He scored in their opening group game against New Caledonia.[26]

On 4 September 2024, Dibling made his England U19 debut during a 2–2 draw to Italy.[27] On 8 November 2024, he was named in the England U21 squad to face Spain and the Netherlands in friendlies.[28] He made his England U21 debut on 15 November 2024 in a 0–0 draw with Spain.[29][30]
