Career

Bentley made his first team debut in the final league game of the 2015–16 season as a 66th-minute substitute for Curtis Nelson in a 5–0 win over Hartlepool United.[2] He made his full first team debut in an EFL Trophy group stage match away to Swansea City's under-23s, who won 2–0, in which he was sent off just before half time for two bookable offences.[3] Bentley was sent on loan to Sutton United in September 2017, but was recalled by Argyle after a lack of match time.[4]

On 23 January 2018, Bentley broke his leg after tackling a teammate in training, and was ruled out injured for 6 months.[5][6] In the 2018-19 season, Bentley and fellow Argyle youth player Dan Rooney joined Truro City on loan in the National League South.[7]

On 7 May 2019 Plymouth Argyle announced that Bentley had been forced to retire from the professional game due to persistent injuries.[8]

On 13 July 2019 it was announced that Bentley had signed for semi-pro Tiverton Town, of the Southern League Premier South.[9]
