In the summer of 2013 following the conclusion of his scholarship he was offered a one-year professional contract with the Championship side.[5] He spent the majority of his first year as a professional playing in the Development Squad as Burnley gained promotion to the Premier League.[8] In the summer of 2014 he signed a new one-year contract extension, remaining in the Development Squad.[8] In February 2015 he signed for League Two side Accrington Stanley on loan until the end of the season.[9] He made his professional league debut in a 3–0 away defeat to Burton Albion, replacing Josh Windass as a substitute.[10]
