Early and personal life

Career

Isted joined League Two side Luton Town on 27 July 2017 following his release from Stoke City. [8] He made his debut for the club over a year later in a 2–1 EFL Trophy victory over Brighton & Hove Albion U21. [9]

In September 2019 he moved on loan to National League South club Oxford City for one month, [10] keeping a clean sheet on his debut. [11] In November 2019 he moved on loan to Wealdstone, also in the National League South. [12] Having won promotion to the National League in his first season at the club, he re-joined Wealdstone on loan in September 2020. [13] However, on 30 November 2020, Isted was recalled by Luton following an injury to fellow goalkeeper Simon Sluga. [14] On 30 January 2021, Isted re-joined Wealdstone on loan for a third time. [15]

Isted made his first appearance for Luton since 2018 in a 3–2 loss to Premier League side Chelsea in the FA Cup on 2 March 2022, coming on as an early substitute for the injured Jed Steer and winning praise for his performance. [16] [17] He made his league debut for Luton on 18 April 2022, almost five years since first joining the club, again coming on as a substitute after an injury to James Shea in a 1–0 Championship victory over Cardiff City. [18] Five days later, Isted made his first start of the season and his first league start in a Luton shirt in the 1–1 home draw against Blackpool. [19]

He moved on loan to Barnsley in January 2023. [20]

On 24 June 2023, Isted agreed to join Charlton Athletic on a two-year deal when his contract at Luton Town expires at the end of June 2023. [21] [22]

On 27 July 2024, Isted joined Burton Albion on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee. [23] [24]

On 7 November 2025, Isted was released by Burton Albion, [25] and immediately signed by Forest Green Rovers. [26]
