After playing for the Manchester City youth team, whom he joined at the age of 8,[3] he moved to Sheffield Wednesday in July 2020, signing for an undisclosed fee.[4][5]
He made his senior debut on 5 September 2020, in the EFL Cup, starting the game away to Walsall[6] and would make his first league appearance against Bristol City coming off the bench.[7] In February 2021 he suffered an ankle injury after coming off the bench against Brentford, and it was expected that he would be out-of-action for four-to-six weeks.[8]
He broke into the first team again during his second season, and in October 2021 he won the club's Player of the Month award,[9] as well as scoring his first senior goal in a game against Cambridge United.[10]
In September 2022 he was nominated for the EFL Cup Player of the Second Round, following a goal and assist against Rochdale, which he subsequently won.[11][12]
