Career

Pilkington started his career as a trainee at Everton, but did not make a first-team appearance for the club. He was sent on loan to Exeter City in November 2002 and played in 12 games, including in the FA Cup to Premier League side Charlton Athletic, which Exeter lost 3–1. He was released by Everton at the end of the 2002–03 season.

Pilkington signed for Port Vale in June 2003.[1] He was twice player of the year at Vale Park and signed a new two-year contract in May 2006, after which he was named club captain.[2] Pilkington left the club following Vale's relegation to League Two at the end of the 2007–08 season.[3] He had made over 250 appearances for the club.[3]

Pilkington joined Luton Town on a free transfer in August 2008.[4] A series of recurring injuries picked up throughout the season limited Pilkington's playing chances, though he returned for the final run-in of games on 17 March 2009. Pilkington played in the Luton side that beat Scunthorpe United 3–2 in the Football League Trophy final at Wembley Stadium.[5]
