Thomas William Cleverley (born 12 August 1989) is an English football coach and former professional player who played as a midfielder. He is currently head coach of EFL Championship club Watford.[4]
After starting his career in the youth set-up at Bradford City, Cleverley joined Manchester United at the age of 12. He was loaned to League One club Leicester City at the start of 2009, helping the team win promotion as champions. He spent the 2009–10 season on loan with Watford in the Championship, where he scored 11 goals in 33 league matches and was voted as their Player of the Season. In August 2010, he joined Wigan Athletic on a season-long loan, where he scored four goals in 25 appearances and helped them to avoid relegation on the final day of the season. He returned to Manchester United for the start of the 2011–12 season and made his first competitive appearance as they won the FA Community Shield. He won the Premier League with Manchester United in 2013. After a loan to Aston Villa in 2014–15, his United contract expired and he signed for Everton. He moved to Watford in January 2017, initially on loan, and totalled 146 appearances for the club up to his retirement in 2023.
Cleverley played for Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics, and later that year made his debut for the England national team.
