Career

Pollock began his career with Northampton Town, featuring in the club's youth Football & Education Programme having joined as an under-14.[4][5] In 2017, Pollock began playing for Hashtag United after winning their nationwide academy competition in May.[6] He subsequently appeared at the EE Wembley Cup later that year, a competition in which he won man of the match and was subsequently handed a trial at Crystal Palace; club ambassador Mark Bright had spotted him while commentating on the event.[5][7] Crystal Palace didn't retain Pollock, stating he was "too slight".[5] He was moved to Northampton Town's U18s ahead of 2018–19.[5]

Pollock, before playing for Hashtag United, had a trial with Leicester City.[8]

On 14 September 2018, Pollock signed a two-year scholarship with Northampton Town.[4][9] Two weeks later, he was selected as a substitute in a League Two fixture against Mansfield Town.[10] In January 2019, Pollock was sent out on a work experience loan to St Neots Town.[11] He was recalled following two appearances.[12][13] Pollock subsequently made his professional league debut on 19 January against Cambridge United.[3] In the succeeding February, Pollock rejoined St Neots Town on loan.[14] During which time, Pollock was offered his first professional contract by his parent team.[15] He was again recalled in April after seven games.[16]

Pollock started in League Two for the first time on 13 April as Northampton drew 1–1 with Mansfield Town, he assisted Sam Foley's goal at Sixfields Stadium.[3][17][18]

On 22 October 2019, Pollock netted his first goal in a 2–0 away win over Carlisle United; scoring in the 51st minute.[3]
