He joined Crewe Alexandra's Academy aged 12, progressing through the ranks to play under-23 games in 2018-19;[3] he also went on loan to Leek Town.[4] He made his first team debut, aged 18, at Gresty Road in an EFL Cup second round tie against Aston Villa on 27 August 2019,[3] and made his league debut, coming on as a 79th-minute substitute for Harry Pickering, against Scunthorpe United at Gresty Road on 29 December 2019.[5]
