Career
Horner attended Seaton Burn School and joined the football development programme at Tyne Met College. His progression at college went so well that he won a scholarship with Hibernian.

He was loaned to Scottish Third Division side East Stirlingshire in November 2011 and made his debut the following day against Berwick Rangers.

At Blyth, Horner earned a call up to the England C squad, from manager Paul Fairclough, for a fixture marking the Northern League's 125th anniversary.

Why this record matters
The phrase “english footballer (born 1992)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 6, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q6536704. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1992, 2010, 2011 and 2013.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
