He broke into the first team aged only 16 in the tailend of the 2018–19 season as he made four appearances for the Fife-based club. He then went on to make 35 appearances in all competitions the following season, scoring 10 goals[2] and helping the club to a Scottish League One title and promotion to the Championship.

Hibernian (2024-present)
