Colback began his career at Sunderland in 2008, having graduated from their academy, and broke into the team following loans at Ipswich Town of the Championship. After 115 Premier League appearances with Sunderland, his contract expired and he controversially moved to their local rivals, Newcastle United. After he was dropped from the 25-strong Premiership squad for the 2017–18 season,[4] he went on loan to Nottingham Forest for one and a half seasons.
He played once for the England national under-20 team in 2009, and was called up for the senior squad for the first time in August 2014.
