He is the younger brother of former St Kilda, Hawthorn and Sydney player Peter Everitt.
[1] At the end of the 2010 season, Everitt was traded to the Sydney Swans, in return for Patrick Veszpremi and a late round draft selection.
In Round 3, Everitt stamped himself as a Swans player, leading the team to victory over the West Coast Eagles with 2 crucial goals in the last quarter.
He finished as the club's leading goalkicker in 2015 with 31 goals, but struggled with form in 2016 and was delisted in October.
[4] Everitt returned to play and co-coach at Somerville in the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League, his local club when he was a junior, in 2017.
