Martyn Thomas Waghorn (born 23 January 1990) is an English footballer who plays for Leicester City on loan from Sunderland as a striker.[1] Waghorn has been with Sunderland since the age of eight and made his first-team debut for the club in December 2007 against Manchester United at the age of 17.
[edit] Club career[edit] Early careerBorn in South Shields, England, Waghorn started his youth career playing for Manchester United School of Excellence,[1] then at the age of eight he moved to his local team Sunderland where he progressed through the youth system at the Academy of Light to reach the Under-18 team. Waghorn scored the first hat-trick of his career on 12 December 2007 in a 6–1 win against Norwich City in the FA Youth Cup third round.[2] He scored twice in a 4–2 win against local rivals Newcastle United a few days later at the Academy of Light, both of the goals being penalties.[3] [edit] SunderlandWaghorn made his first-team debut against Manchester United at the Stadium of Light on 26 December 2007; the match finished 4–0 to Manchester United.[4] The player, usually a striker, had to play in left midfield, and after the match manager Roy Keane heaped praise on the young player, predicting that he would have a "long and successful career".[5] This performance earned him another call up to the first team squad for the match against Bolton Wanderers, where he was an unused substitute.[6] He made his second appearance for Sunderland as an 81st-minute substitute against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park,[7] and his second start for the club in an FA Cup tie against Wigan Athletic in January 2008, where he was replaced by Andrew Cole in the 57th minute.[8] Waghorn signed a two-and-a-half-year deal at Sunderland in February 2008, which Keane described as good for both Sunderland and the player.[9] His only 2008/09 appearance for the club was against Chelsea FC at Stamford Bridge. [edit] Loan movesWaghorn joined Championship side Charlton Athletic on a month's loan on 17 November 2008.[10] On 15 December 2008, Waghorn scored his first goal, in a 2–2 draw at home against Derby County.[11] The loan deal was extended for a second month.[12] He made a total of 7 appearances for the club in a season that would end in relegation. On 6 August 2009, Waghorn joined Leicester City on loan until 11 January 2010[13], having turned down interest from Carlisle United.[14] Waghorn made his competitive debut for Leicester coming on as a half time substitute replacing Matty Fryatt against Swansea City, scoring the equalising goal as Leicester won 2–1.[15] Waghorn scored his second goal, another vital equaliser, against Coventry City in the M69 Derby.[16] His first 11 games for Leicester have all been as a substitute, but Waghorn has expressed his satisfaction with this saying, "I'm really happy to be coming on. Whatever the manager wants me to do I'll do it." [17] He made his first league start for Leicester against Reading scoring the winning goal just before half time.[18] On 28 November he scored the opening goal against Scunthorpe.[19] [edit] Career statistics
