Career

Worman came through the youth-team at Cambridge United and made his first-team debut in an EFL Trophy match on 7 November 2017, coming on as an 83rd-minute substitute for Uche Ikpeazu in a 2–0 defeat by Peterborough United at the Abbey Stadium. [3] At the age of 16, this made him the youngest ever player to take part in a competitive match for the "U's"; manager Shaun Derry said that it was a "fantastic" experience for the youngster. [4] In September 2018, following the signing of a three-year professional contract, Worman joined St Neots Town on loan. [5]

On 21 November 2019, Worman signed for National League South club Chelmsford City on an initial one-month loan deal. [8]

He scored his first goal for Cambridge United on 10 November 2020 in an EFL Trophy group game against Peterborough United. [9]

On 3 August 2023, Worman signed for League of Ireland Premier Division side Cork City. [10]

On 9 January 2024, Worman signed for National League club Gateshead on a short-term contract until the end of the season with the option for a one-year extension. [11]
