Club career

Milton Keynes Dons

Born in Milton Keynes, Spence started his career in the youth team of local club Milton Keynes Dons where he was captain,[3] signing his first professional contract in May 2011.[4] He made his professional debut on 4 September 2012, in a 1–0 defeat to Northampton Town in the Football League Trophy.[5] In April 2013, Spence was released by the club after making just one first team appearance.[3]

Colchester United

Spence joined Colchester United's Academy, initially on trial at the end of the 2012–13 season, playing in a number of under-21 games for the club. He then signed a one-year contract in June 2013.[6][7] He made his U's and Football League debut as a substitute for Ryan Dickson after just 20 minutes of an injury-ravaged Colchester's 2–0 defeat to Coventry City on 8 September.[8]

On 14 January 2014, Spence joined Conference South side Concord Rangers on a one-month loan deal, making his debut as a 30th-minute substitute for Jack Lampe in the side's 2–1 victory over table-topping Bromley and providing the assist for Rangers' second goal.[9]

St Neots Town

On 26 March 2014, Spence joined Southern Football League side St Neots Town after having his contract cancelled by mutual consent at Colchester United.[10]

International career

Eligible to represent Wales, Spence featured for the Wales U19 team during the 2012–13 season.[2][11] He made his national youth-team debut on 12 October 2012 in a 2–1 win against Slovenia, coming on as an 89th-minute substitute.[12]
