Playing career

Exeter City

Prior to joining the Exeter City Academy, Storey played for South Petherton, Chard Town and Mere Town.[3] He joined Southern League Premier Division side Bideford on a short-term loan in March 2016,[4] before being offered professional terms in May of the same year.[5] He made his first-team debut for Exeter on 30 August 2016, coming on as a 62nd-minute substitute for Pierce Sweeney in a 4–2 defeat at Oxford United in an EFL Trophy group stage match.[6]

Storey joined Southern League Division One South & West side Tiverton Town in March 2017,[7] playing 6 times as they clinched promotion to the Southern League Premier Division.[8] The young defender began the following season on loan at Dorchester Town,[9] playing 13 fixtures before being recalled by Exeter in late October due to an accumulation of injuries to first-team defenders.[10] He made his league debut in a 1–1 draw at Mansfield Town on 28 October 2017, being subbed on in the 94th minute in place of striker Reuben Reid after right-back Kane Wilson was sent off.[11]

Storey's first league start came in a 1–0 defeat to Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on 3 February 2018.[12] The following month, Storey scored his first goal in professional football − a left-footed volley in a 0–1 victory over Port Vale at Vale Park.[13] He made 17 appearances in all competitions scoring 2 goals during the 2017–18 season as he helped Exeter reach the 2018 EFL League Two play-off Final, which they lost on 28 May against Coventry City.[14]

Preston North End

On 12 June 2018, Storey signed for EFL Championship side Preston North End on a four-year contract, moving for a 'substantial undisclosed fee'.[15][16]
