Career
Born in Salford, Greater Manchester, Eckersley first joined Manchester United as a nine-year-old, and signed his first contract with the club in 2002. He became a professional in July 2004[1] and was a member of the United reserve team that won the quadruple in 2005. He made his senior team debut in the Carling Cup on 26 October 2005, starting at left back in the 4–1 home win over Barnet.[2] Eckersley then went on loan to the Belgian Second Division club Royal Antwerp in January 2006, to gain further first team match experience. Eckersley was linked with a move to NEC of the Netherlands as a replacement for Jeffrey Leiwakabessy in April 2006,[3] but instead he was loaned out to Brøndby in August 2006. He was injured during his stay at Brøndby, however, and only played six matches for the club before the loan ended on 31 December 2006.
He joined Barnsley on 8 January 2007 on loan until the end of the season,[4] but the loan was effectively cut short in April 2007 when Eckersley returned to Manchester United after suffering a torn thigh muscle and did not play for Barnsley again.[5] He was promoted to the first-team squad as cover for the injured Mikaël Silvestre at the start of the 2007–08 season, before moving to Port Vale on a month-long loan on 12 October 2007.[6] He made his debut in a defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on 13 October 2007, in which he was sent off.[7] However, he only made one more appearance before picking up a knee injury and returning to Manchester United for treatment.
On 1 January 2008, Eckersley moved back to Port Vale, this time on a permanent basis, becoming manager Lee Sinnott's first non-loan signing.[8] Eckersley expressed an interest in extending his contract beyond its original six-month term,[9] but despite scoring his first goal in English football and his first anywhere since a loan spell at Royal Antwerp in a 2–2 home draw with Yeovil Town on 29 January 2008,[10] his contract was allowed to lapse at the end of the 2007–08 campaign, following Port Vale's relegation to League Two.[11]
Prior to the 2008–09 season, he joined Danish Superliga team Horsens on a free transfer.[12]
