Early life

Edmondson was born in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.[4] He supported Leeds United as a child.[5]

Career

Early career

Edmondson joined York City's academy in 2015[6] after being rejected by Huddersfield Town.[7] He made his first-team debut in the National League North on 7 October 2017, when being substituted on in the 72nd minute in a 2–1 home win over Brackley Town.[8] At the age of 16 years and 140 days, he became the third youngest player in the club's history.[6]

Edmondson was signed by Championship club Leeds United on 15 November 2017, on a scholarship contract until June 2020 for an undisclosed fee.[6][9] After impressing in the youth teams during the spring,[10] Edmondson debuted for Leeds in the Championship on the last day of the season, 6 May 2018, as a 73rd-minute substitute in a 2–0 home victory against Queens Park Rangers, at 16 years of age.[11]

Edmondson signed a new three-year contract with Leeds on 7 August 2018.[12] He made one league appearance as a substitute for the first team but thrived in the under-23 team, scoring 18 times during the 2018–19 season and, on 6 May, was part of the team who won the Professional Development League (Category 2) final in a 4–2 penalty shoot-out win (0–0 after extra time) against Birmingham City.[13]

Loans

On 31 July 2020, Edmondson joined Scottish Premiership club Aberdeen on loan until January 2021.[14] His debut came in their first match of the season as a 65th-minute substitute in a 1–0 defeat at home to Rangers.[15][16] Soon afterwards he sustained an ankle injury in training, which was expected to prevent him from playing for a few months.[17] However, he returned to the team earlier than expected, coming on as a substitute against Motherwell on 20 September.[18] He scored his first goals for Aberdeen when he scored twice in a 4–2 win over Hamilton Academical on 20 October.[19] He returned to Leeds United at the end of his loan in January 2021.[20]

On 14 January 2021, Edmondson joined League One club Northampton Town on loan until the end of the 2020–21 season.[21]

Edmondson joined League One club Fleetwood Town on 11 June 2021 on loan for the 2021–22 season.[22]

International career

Edmondson received his first international call-up for the England national under-19 team's friendlies against Greece and Germany in September 2019.[23] He made his debut on 5 September when starting against Greece at St George's Park, scoring in the 60th minute of a 3–1 win.[24] He finished his career with the under-19s with three appearances, which all came in 2019, scoring one goal.[25]
