[edit] Career
[edit] Oldham Athletic
Black was in Oldham Athletic's youth system for two years before becoming a regular in the starting eleven during the 2006–07 season, becoming a captain for the youth squad.[2] In November 2007, he was included in the senior team for the first time but was not used as a substitute in a 2–2 draw versus Doncaster Rovers—his first professional contract.[3] On 16 January 2008, Black signed a two-and-a-half year contract with Oldham Athletic.[4] His first appearance came on 29 March 2008 as he came on in the 76th minute as a substitute during a 4–1 rout of Huddersfield Town.[5]
He joined Barrow A.F.C. on a one-month loan deal on 22 August 2008,[6] though it was later extened until 5 January 2009.[7] However, he rejoined Oldham on 1 January 2009, becoming a first team regular under manager Dave Penney during the latter half of the 2009-10 season. Current manager Paul Dickov seems to show the same faith in his abilities and he has started most of Oldham's league matches to date in the left back position. At the end of the 2010-11 season he was offered a new contract by Oldham.[8]
[edit] International
In November 2007, Black was placed on standby for the England under-18 team, though never made an appearance.
