Club career

Southampton

Hesketh was born in Stockport, near Manchester but his family moved to Whiteley, near Fareham, Hampshire when he was six months old.[4]

Hesketh joined Southampton's academy as an under-nine after being scouted at a local tournament playing for Crofton Saints Football Club, he studied at Whiteley Primary School before moving onto Swanmore College.[5] He completed a two-year scholarship with the club and after finishing as the Under-18 team's top scorer was awarded the 2013–14 Scholar of the Season accolade at the Southampton club awards ceremony. The same day Hesketh signed a three-year professional contract to keep him at the club until 2017.[6][7]

He was promoted into the first team by coach Ronald Koeman due to injury problems among the squad.[8] He made his debut for the club on 8 December 2014 in a Premier League match against Manchester United, being brought in as a substitute for Dušan Tadić in the 70th minute of the 2–1 home defeat.[9] Five days later Hesketh made his first Premier League start as Southampton lost 1–0 away to Burnley.[10]

Hesketh made 22 appearances for Martin Hunter's Under-21s in 2014–15, scoring two goals and lifting the 2015 U21 Premier League Cup.[11][12]
