He made his senior debut for the club on 23 September 2014, appearing as a substitute in a League Cup match.[5] He is one of the club's youngest ever players – his made his debut at the age of 16 years 200 days, which is 59 days older than the club's youngest ever player Robert Cullingford.[6] He made his league debut on 11 April 2015, again appearing as a substitute.[7]

In September 2016, he moved on loan to Guiseley for one month,[11] after Bradford City manager Stuart McCall stated that he felt a loan move would "benefit his development."[12]

In October 2016 he signed a one-month loan deal with Harrogate Town.[13]
