Club Career

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Ebanks-Landell is a product of Wolverhampton Wanderers' academy, who joined aged nine; he signed his first professional contract with the club in 2010. His first involvement with the first team occurred in December 2010 when he was an unused substitute for a Premier League win against Birmingham.

After returning from a loan spell at Bury, Ebanks-Landell finally made his Wolves debut on 6 August 2013 when he started a League Cup defeat at Morecambe. His first league appearance for the club came on 26 October 2013 when he came on as a substitute in a 2–1 victory at Bradford. On 16 November 2013 he scored his first senior goal, when he netted the only goal of the game against Notts County. He scored a second goal – against Leyton Orient – before suffering damage to his knee ligaments in a game at Tranmere on New Years Day 2014.

Bury (loan)

In November 2012, the defender moved on loan to League One team Bury until 3 January 2013. Here, he made his professional debut on 17 November 2012 in a 0–2 defeat at Colchester, the first of eight appearances for the club. While at Bury, Ebanks-Landell established himself in the first team at Bury, playing in the centre-back position, though he would play in a different position and earning praise from manager Kevin Blackwell. Financial troubles though meant that Bury were forced to return their loan signings in January 2013, however, Ebanks-Landell was soon permitted to rejoin Bury on 10 January 2013 initially on loan for another month, making his return to their first team two days later, in a 1–1 draw against MK Dons. His loan spell was subsequently extended in February to run until the end of the season as the team unsuccessfully fought to avoid relegation to League Two.
