He made his first-team debut at 18 following a loan spell at Northampton Town, where his performances earned him recognition. He featured in the 2009 Championship play-off final, and his strong showing led to a move to Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur. He was immediately loaned back to Sheffield United, then had further loan stints at Queens Park Rangers and Aston Villa.
