Lavery played youth football for Oxford Sunnyside, Portadown and Glenavon.[3] He was an unused substitute for Glenavon's first team in December 2014.[4]
In March 2015, Lavery moved to Everton following a successful trial.[3] On 6 December 2017, Lavery was named in Everton's first team squad for the Europa League match away to Apollon Limassol but was an unused substitute.[5]

Lavery signed for Blackpool on 1 July 2021 on a two-year contract, with an option of a further 12 months. He scored, deep into injury time, on his debut as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 draw at Bristol City on 7 August.[9]
