Oliver Webber (born 26 June 2000) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for National League club Woking. Born in England, he represented Northern Ireland at youth international level.

Club career

Born in Portsmouth, Webber spent his early career with Northern Irish clubs Ards Rangers and Glentoran. He joined Crystal Palace in 2016. Webber also spent time on loan at Isthmian League sides Whyteleafe and Greenwich Borough during the 2018–19 campaign. He turned professional with Palace in May 2019, extending the contract in July 2020.

After a loan spell with Dover Athletic in January 2021, he signed for Portsmouth in January 2022.

He returned to Glentoran in July 2022. Webber was described as a "hero" after saving two penalties in the County Antrim Shield in September 2023, and first choice goalkeeper Aaron McCarey said that Webber deserved his chance in the first-team.

On 7 May 2024, it was announced that Webber would be one of ten players departing Glentoran upon the expiry of their contracts.

On 14 August 2024, having impressed with the club on trial, Webber signed for National League side Woking.

International career

Webber is a Northern Ireland under-21 youth international, having previously played at under-17 and under-19 levels.
