Playing career

Early career

Tuton played lower league football for Teversal, Matlock Town, Belper Town, and Buxton.[2] He trials at Carlisle United in January 2015 and Morecambe in February 2015.[3][4] He was signed by FC Halifax Town manager Neil Aspin in August 2015.[5] His performances for the "Shaymen" earned him comparison with Jamie Vardy, a striker who played for Halifax before working his way up into the Premier League.[6]

Barnsley

Tuton was signed by League One side Barnsley in February 2016, getting his chance in the English Football League at the age of 24; Barnsley paid Halifax an undisclosed fee.[7][8] He made seven appearances for Paul Heckingbottom's "Tykes" in the second half of the 2015–16 season, however failed to break into the first-team picture following the club's promotion into the Championship.[9]

On 31 August 2016, he joined League Two club Grimsby Town on loan until the end of the 2016–17 season.[10]

On 2 February 2017, he joined National League side Barrow on a 93-day loan.[11] However his loan spell at the "Bluebirds" was ended by an ankle injury he picked up during a 2–1 defeat at Maidstone United on 1 April.[12]

He had a trial at Scottish Premiership club Motherwell in July 2017, but "Steelmen" manager Stephen Robinson concluded that "[he] did well as a trialist but I didn't feel he was better than what we had".[13] He joined Port Vale on trial in December 2017, who were managed by former Halifax boss Neil Aspin.[14]

On 20 January 2018, Tuton rejoined FC Halifax Town, this time on a loan deal for the rest of the season. He joined Chester in August 2018.[15] After playing the first few games of the season for Chester he moved to Spennymoor Town.[16]
