Playing career

Banton was born in Tottenham. ^[3] He began playing for Arsenal's youth teams at the age of seven and progressed through their academy to be offered scholarship terms. ^{[4] [5]} He left Arsenal in 2008 after becoming "disillusioned" by his lack of progress, ^[6] and signed with Blackburn Rovers in October. ^{[6] [7]} In his first year with the club, Banton was the top-scorer in their academy side. ^{[4] [8]} Banton had his contract at Blackburn terminated towards the end of 2010. ^{[4] [9] [10]} He joined Liverpool in January 2011 after spending time there on trial. ^{[4] [10]} Banton was released at the end of the season without making a first-team appearance for the club. ^{[11] [12]}

He signed a one-year contract with Leicester City in summer 2011. ^{[13] [14]} He joined Burton Albion on loan for one month on 30 September, ^{[14] [15]} and made his first-team debut the next day against Bradford City. ^[16] Banton returned to Leicester without making another appearance for Burton and had his contract cancelled by mutual consent in December. ^[17]

In January 2012, Banton signed with Major League Soccer and entered the MLS SuperDraft. ^{[8] [18]} He was selected by Seattle Sounders FC in the second round of the 2012 MLS Supplemental Draft as the 34th pick overall. ^{[2] [19]} Describing his position in the draft, Banton said: "It doesn't mean anything. I'm just glad to get the opportunity to come to Seattle." ^[20] The club's technical director Chris Henderson said: "We think he's a guy who, depending on how things play out with our wingers, can step in on either flank." ^[3] Banton was cut by the Sounders in February after attending training camps in Washington and Arizona. ^[21]

Banton then returned to England and joined Crystal Palace on trial in the summer, where he was given a contract through to the end of the 2012–13 season in October. ^[22] He made his first-team debut for Palace in an FA Cup tie against Stoke City in January 2013. ^{[23] [24]} Later that month, Banton joined Plymouth Argyle on loan until March. ^{[25] [26]} "He can be a very exciting player," said manager John Sheridan. "I thought it was important we got a player who is going to gain us that ground, 30 or 40 yards on up the pitch, quickly." ^[27] Banton made his debut in a 0–0 draw with Dagenham & Redbridge, ^[28] and scored both goals in a 2–1 win at Aldershot Town a week later. ^{[29] [30]} In March, he signed a new one-year contract with Palace and extended his loan with Argyle until the end of the season. ^{[31] [32]} Banton won the Football League Two Player of the Month award for March after scoring three goals in six appearances. ^{[33] [34]} In all, he played in 14 matches for Argyle and scored six goals before being recalled by Palace in April. ^{[35] [36]}

At the start of the 2013–14 season, he moved to Milton Keynes Dons on loan until January 2014. ^{[37] [38]} Banton made his debut against Shrewsbury Town on 3 August and scored his first goal for the club in a League Cup tie at Northampton Town three days later. ^{[39] [40]} He scored two more goals and had made 17 appearances in all competitions before losing his place in the team in December. ^[41] Having not played in a first team game for nearly a month, ^[42] and with his loan due to expire, he returned to Crystal Palace at the start of January. ^[43]
