Club career

Lambert came through Middlesbrough's youth system, [3] [4] before joining Scottish Premiership club Dundee in 2017. [5] He made his professional debut at home to Celtic on 26 December 2017, replacing Faissal El Bakhtaoui after an hour of the 2–0 league defeat, [6] [7] and signed a new contract in January 2018. [5] Lambert made five Premiership appearances for Dundee, seven in all first-team competitions, [8] before he was released at the end of the 2018–19 season. [9]

Lambert returned to England and signed for League Two club Scunthorpe United in July 2019, as part of their under-23 side. [10] He joined National League North club Darlington on 15 November on a month's loan, [11] and made his debut the following day as a half-time substitute with his new team already 5–0 down away to Brackley Town. [12] The loan was extended for a second month, [13] and he made eight league appearances before returning to his parent club. [14] [15] After a month on loan at another National League North club, Blyth Spartans, during which he made three league starts, [16] [14] he returned to Darlington on 6 March 2020 for the rest of the season, [17] but was not used in either of the matches played before the season was curtailed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. [14] He was released by Scunthorpe at the end of the season. [18]

On 7 September 2020, Lambert joined Icelandic 1. deild side ÍBV until the end of the season, [19] but the league was suspended and then abandoned in October because of COVID-19, [20] by which time he had scored once from three matches. [14]

Lambert joined Hebburn Town on 13 March 2021 until the end of the season. [21] Although the Northern League campaign had already been abandoned, he played twice in the 2020–21 FA Vase, [22] but not in the 2020 FA Vase Final, rescheduled from the end of the previous season, in which Hebburn beat Consett 3–2 at Wembley. [23]

In September 2021, he rejoined Darlington on non-contract terms. [24] On 12 November, after two goals from seven league appearances, he signed a contract with Darlington, [25] and finished the season with eight goals from 35 appearances in all competitions. [14] In 2022–23, he had twelve goals before Christmas, and amid interest from EFL clubs, Darlington were hoping to persuade him to accept another contract; [26] [27] he stayed with the club, without a new contract, and finished the season with sixteen goals. [14] On 20 May 2023, Darlington announced that Lambert would leave the club at the end of the season. [28]

On 13 June 2023, Lambert joined National League club Kidderminster Harriers on a two-year deal. [29]

Having played little during the early part of the 2024–25 season, [14] Lambert rejoined Darlington on 29 November 2024 on loan until 1 January 2025. [30] He scored once in seven appearances before the loan was extended for a further month. [31]
