Career

Bolton Wanderers

Earing came through the Bolton Wanderers academy and made his debut for the first team on 30 August 2016, starting in a 2–0 home defeat against Everton U-23s in the Football League Trophy Group Stage. [2] He made two appearances in the League Cup in the 2017–18 season, starting the match against Crewe Alexandra and coming on as a substitute against West Ham United. [3] However, further first team opportunities were limited and on 12 January 2019, Earing was loaned out to Curzon Ashton in the National League North. [4] He made five league appearances for "The Nash" before returning to Bolton to make his league debut on the final day of the 2018–19 season in a 1–0 defeat away to Nottingham Forest. [5]

Halifax Town

On 24 June 2019, it was announced that Earing would be joining FC Halifax Town when his Bolton contract expired on 1 July. [6] Earing scored just three minutes into his Halifax debut, after coming on as a substitute in a 4–1 win at Ebbsfleet United. On 18 December 2019, Earing joined Spennymoor Town on a short-term loan deal, [7] making four appearances in the National League North. On 23 January 2020, Earing again went out on loan to a National League North side, this time Farsley Celtic, [8] where he made three further appearances. The 2020–21 season proved to be a breakthrough season for Earing as he established himself as a regular starter for Halifax, making 35 appearances and scoring nine goals, including five goals in his last 12 appearances of the season. [9]

Walsall

On 18 June 2021, League Two side Walsall announced the signing of Earing on a two-year deal upon the expiry of his Halifax contract on 1 July for an undisclosed compensation package. [10] He was a near-ever-present in his first season for the club, making 51 appearances in all competitions and scoring four goals. [11] Earing suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in Walsall's 2–1 win over Mansfield Town on New Year's Day 2023, keeping him out until December 2023 when he made his return off the bench in a FA Cup tie against Alfreton Town. [12] He scored his first goal back from injury on his first start on the 29 December 2023 in a 3–1 league win over Wrexham and signed a new contract two days later, keeping him at Walsall until the summer of 2025. [13] He was released after the end of his contract on 30 June 2025. [14]

Barrow

On 10 June 2025 League Two rivals Barrow announced the signing of Earing on a one-year deal with an additional year option upon the expiry of his Walsall contract. [15]
