He began his youth career at the Fulham academy but was released at the age of 16, spending the next four years playing non-league football. He has had spells with AFC Bournemouth and Yeovil,[2] along with loans at Newport County and Leyton Orient.

He signed a two-year deal with Barnsley in 2019[3] and in 2020 re-joined Newport County on loan.[3]

Career

Green is a product of the Fulham academy, where he spent 5 years, before being released at the age of 16 as coaches deemed him too small, as he was only five feet tall at the time.[2] Following his release, Green played non-league football for Phoenix before joining Southern Football League Division One side Banbury United in November 2014,[4] scoring four goals in 28 league appearances in the 2014–15 season.[5][6] During his time at the club, Green worked part-time in a local Waitrose supermarket as a shelf-stacker.[2][7]

Bournemouth

Green had considered quitting football at the end of the season but his agent offered him a trial at Premier League side AFC Bournemouth in 2015.[8] Green funded the trial himself and impressed enough during training with under-21 coach Stephen Purches and friendly matches against Arsenal and Salisbury to be handed an initial one-year contract by the Cherries.[2][9]

In August 2016, Green joined Newport County on loan until 3 January 2017, along with Josh Sheehan,[10] making his senior debut the following day, on 9 August 2016, for Newport in a 3–2 defeat to Milton Keynes Dons in the Football League Cup as a 74th-minute substitute in place of Sean Rigg.[11] Green made his Football League debut on 13 August 2016 in the club's following match, being named in the starting line-up in a 1–0 victory over Leyton Orient, playing over an hour before being replaced by Jazzi Barnum-Bobb.[12] Green scored his first goal for Newport on 30 August 2016 during a 4–1 defeat to Plymouth Argyle in the EFL Trophy.[13] Green made a total of sixteen appearances for the Exiles.

On 31 January 2017, Green joined League Two side Leyton Orient on loan until the end of the 2016–17 season.[14] However, Green was unable to be registered by the club due to "a failure to request his return papers from the Welsh FA following the conclusion of the original loan".[15]

Yeovil Town

On 16 August 2017, Green signed for League Two club Yeovil Town on a free transfer signing a one-year contract.[16]

Barnsley

On 18 January 2019, Green signed for League One club Barnsley for an undisclosed fee signing a ​2 1⁄2-year deal, with the option of a further year in favour of the club.[17]

On 14 January 2020 Green re-joined his former loan club Newport County on loan until the end of the 2019–20 season.[3] He made his second debut for Newport County on 18 January 2020 in the 2-0 League Two win against Swindon Town as a second-half substitute.[18] Green scored his first goal for Newport on 25 February 2020 in the 4–2 defeat to Grimsby Town in League Two.[19]
