Youth Career

After playing youth soccer for the East York Komets in Toronto, he signed a two-year soccer scholarship in August 2007 with the Iowa Central Community College.[2] During the college off season he played in the USL Premier Development League from 2007 till 2009 with the Cleveland Internationals, Springfield Demize, and Toronto Lynx.[3] In 2009, he played for the Italia Shooters in the Canadian Soccer League.[4]

Warriors FC

He joined Warriors for the 2017 season.[6] In March 2017, Webb claimed to be the victim of slanderous racial abuse in an S.League match, stating that Balestier Khalsa player Raihan Rahman had used a derogatory term against him.[7] Webb scored six goals in his first seven outings for the Warriors but did not net in the S.League again until October in a 3-2 away defeat to Brunei DPMM.[5]

Return to Tampines Rovers

He returned to former club Tampines Rovers after a season with Warriors FC for the 2018 Singapore Premier League season, with the Tampines Head Coach branding him as one of the best wingers in Singapore.[8] He rejected an offer from a Portuguese 2nd tier side to re-sign for Tampines Rovers.[5]

In his second season with the club, he helped the Stags win the 2019 Singapore Cup.[9]

International career

In November 2015 he announced his desire to represent Singapore at international level, subject to receiving a Singaporean passport.[10]
