[edit] Career
Labonte started his career as a trainee for English Premiership side Newcastle United in 2001. In January of 2003, then Livingston manager Jim Leishman offered Labonte a trial.[1] The trial was unsuccessful, but 5 months later Labonte was handed a trial by fellow SPL side Dunfermline Athletic. After a successful trial, Labonte was offered a two-and-a-half year contract with the club.[2] Labonte made his debut in the 4-0 defeat to Glasgow side Rangers.[3]
In the 2004 Scottish Cup defeat to Celtic, former Bhoys striker Henrik Larsson twice evaded Labonte and scored both times.[4] After relegation to the First Division, then manager Stephen Kenny told Labonte that he was not needed by the club.[5]. On the deadline day for transfers in 2008, Labonte signed on loan until the end of the season for Irish club Finn Harps.[6] He was released by Dunfermline in May 2008 after his contract ended.
