Career

[edit]

Skinner began his early career with Bury. He was part of the under-18 team that reached the FA Youth Cup quarter-finals, appearing in the 1–5 defeat to Liverpool.[2]

Following the closure of Bury's academy due to their expulsion from the Football League, in October 2019, Skinner joined Bolton Wanderers' academy. His stay at Bolton was short-lived however, as the following month he joined Tottenham Hotspur's academy. He signed his first professional contract with Tottenham on his 18th birthday.[3]

In March 2021, Skinner went on trial at Sunderland.[4] He was released by Tottenham in May 2021.[5][6]

In November 2021, Skinner signed for Northern Premier League Premier Division club Bamber Bridge.[7] He was named the club's player of the season at the end of the 2022–23 season.[8]

On 24 May 2023, Skinner joined National League North club Hereford.[8] He made his debut in their first home league fixture of the season.[9] On 10 April 2024, it was announced that Skinner had signed a one-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until 2025.[10] He was voted Hereford's player of the season.[11]
