Gavin Andrew Hoyte (born 6 June 1990 in Waltham Forest, London) is an English footballer who plays as a defender, usually at right back for Arsenal. He is the son of British sprinter, Wendy Hoyte and the younger brother of Justin Hoyte, who also played for Arsenal before his move to Middlesbrough in 2008.
Hoyte has been signed with Arsenal since he was nine.[1] He has featured regularly for Arsenal's U18 and Reserve teams, and was captain of Arsenal's U18 team during 2006–07.[2] He signed as a professional with the club on September 10, 2007.[3] He has also played for the England national under-17 football team and was a member of the England squad at the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup. He played in all five of England's matches in the tournament, coming on as a sub three times and starting the games against Brazil and Germany.[4]
From 2007 onwards, Hoyte has featured for Arsenal on the bench as an unused substitute several times; the first in an FA Cup fifth round replay against Blackburn Rovers on 28 February 2007.[5] He then featured in four of Arsenal's five games in the 2007–08 League Cup campaign, against Newcastle United,[6] Sheffield United,[7] Blackburn Rovers[8] and Tottenham Hotspur[9] but was always an unused substitute.
Hoyte played two first-team matches in Arsenal's 2008 pre-season friendly campaign, and was named captain of the Arsenal Reserves side for the 2008–09 season.[3] He made his first-team competitive debut for Arsenal in a League Cup tie against Sheffield United on 23 September 2008, playing at right back for the full 90 minutes, in a match that Arsenal won 6–0.[10] He started in subsequent rounds in the competition against Wigan Athletic and Burnley and also made his Premier League debut against Manchester City on 22 November 2008, in which he was substituted for Aaron Ramsey after 60 minutes.
In December 2008 Hoyte signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal.[1] On 31 December 2008 Hoyte joined Championship side Watford on loan for the rest of the 2008–09 season. [11]
