Career

Skinner began his early career with Bury. He was part of the under-18 team that reached the FA Youth Cup quarter-finals, appearing in the 1–5 defeat to Liverpool. [2]

Following the closure of Bury's academy due to their expulsion from the Football League, in October 2019, Skinner joined Bolton Wanderers' academy. His stay at Bolton was short-lived however, as the following month he joined Tottenham Hotspur's academy. He signed his first professional contract with Tottenham on his 18th birthday. [3]

In March 2021, Skinner went on trial at Sunderland. [4] He was released by Tottenham in May 2021. [5] [6]

In November 2021, Skinner signed for Northern Premier League Premier Division club Bamber Bridge. [7] He was named the club's player of the season at the end of the 2022–23 season. [8]

On 24 May 2023, Skinner joined National League North club Hereford. [8] He made his debut in their first home league fixture of the season. [9] On 10 April 2024, it was announced that Skinner had signed a one-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until 2025. [10] He was voted Hereford's player of the season. [11] After an injury-hit 2024–25 season where he made 23 appearances across all competitions, he signed a new contract extension for the 2025–26 season in May 2025. [12]
