A defender, Oliver joined the Manchester City Academy at the age of 8.[4] He progressed to sign a professional contract at the age of 18 and broke into the EDS.[5][6] He made three appearances during the EDS' 2017–18 EFL Trophy campaign and on 31 January 2018, joined League One club Fleetwood Town on loan until the end of the 2017–18 season.[6] He made the first professional appearance of his career three days later, as a substitute for Conor McAleny after 44 minutes of a 3–2 defeat to Scunthorpe United.[7] It proved to be the only appearance of Oliver's spell, as he dropped out of the first team squad after the appointment of new head coach John Sheridan on 22 February 2018.[2][8] Oliver played for the Development Squad in its run to the 2018 Lancashire Senior Cup Final and departed Highbury when his loan expired.[9][10]
On 31 August 2018, Oliver joined the B team at Championship club Brentford on loan until 1 January 2019.[5] He made 15 appearances for the B team before the expiration of his loan.[11] He departed Manchester City at the end of the campaign, when his contract expired.[12]
On 15 November 2019, Oliver joined National League North club Southport on a free transfer.[13] On 4 March 2020, three days prior to his 19th and final appearance of the cancelled 2019–20 season,[14][15] it was announced that Oliver had signed a new one-year contract.[16] Oliver made 18 appearances during the 2020–21 season (which was again curtailed) and signed further contract extensions for the 2021–22 and 2022–23 seasons respectively.[17][18][19][20] He was a part of the team which won the 2021–22 Lancashire FA Challenge Trophy.[21]
