He then joined Ashford Town (Middlesex) in 2008, before joining Carshalton Athletic.[5] Brief spells at Godalming Town and Welling United followed, before joining Hampton & Richmond Borough.

After two years with the Hawks, he joined Macclesfield Town for 2016–17.[7] He joined Barnet on a one-year deal on 1 July 2017 after rejecting a new deal with the Silkmen.[8] Ross made his debut for the Bees in the EFL Cup against Brighton & Hove Albion on 22 August 2017.[9] He played 33 league games for the Bees that season but his contract was not renewed following their relegation.[10]
He was released by Barnet at the end of the 2017–18 season.[11]
Following a spell with Leatherhead,[12] Ross returned to Woking in September 2018.[13] On the same day of his arrival, he made his debut during a 2–2 draw against Torquay United.[14] On 12 May 2019, Ross was part of the side that triumphed over Welling United in the National League South play-off final to secure promotion back to the National League at the first time of asking.[15]
