Jose Baxter (born 7 February 1992) is an English footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder. He is currently serving a 12-month ban after testing positive for a social drug in February 2016.On January 26, 2017 Everton announced at the end of Baxter's drug ban he would rejoin the club.
Born in Bootle, Baxter began his career with his home town club of Everton, where he became the Premier League's youngest ever starter in 2008. After having been on the fringes of the first team and spending time on loan at Tranmere Rovers, he rejected a new contract in 2012 in order to find regular football elsewhere. He joined Oldham Athletic shortly afterwards where he spent a successful season before being bought by Sheffield United just under 12 months later. Baxter has represented England at both under-16 and under-17 level.
Baxter joined Everton as a six-year-old. He remained as an Everton youth player until 2008 when he trained with the first-team squad on tours to Switzerland and the United States two months after leaving school.
Baxter made his professional début for the club on the opening day of the 2008–09 season coming on as a 78th-minute substitute for Nuno Valente in a home game against Blackburn Rovers, becoming Everton's youngest ever senior player in the process, aged 16 years and 191 days, beating the record previously held by teammate James Vaughan.
Baxter was named in the Everton starting line up to play West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns, becoming the youngest Everton player ever to start a game, and March 2009 he signed a new two-and-a-half-year contract with Everton. Baxter remained in the squad in the starting line up and in making many substitute appearances in 2009–10 season. He also made the first team at Goodison Park against BATE Borisov in the Europa League.
