Club Career

Early Career

Randall began his senior career in New Zealand, playing regional football with Island Bay United in 2018, where he scored 15 goals in 16 appearances. He moved to North Wellington in 2019, scoring 41 goals in 44 league matches, and spent time on loan with Tasman United and Hawke's Bay United during the 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons respectively. In 2022, Randall signed for Wellington Olympic, where he scored 17 goals in 22 appearances in the National League. ^{[3] [4]}

In March 2023, Randall moved to the United States, signing with USL Championship side Charleston Battery. ^{[5] [6]} He made seven appearances for the club before returning to New Zealand later that year, rejoining Wellington Olympic and scoring seven goals in eight matches in the 2024 season.

Auckland FC

On 29 May 2024, Randall was announced as one of the first signings for Auckland FC's inaugural season. ^[7] He was predominantly deployed as a striker alongside Guillermo May during the 2024–25 campaign. Randall scored his first goal for the club in a 6–1 win over Wellington Phoenix and went on to record three goals and one assist in his debut A-League Men season. ^[8]

Randall later scored three goals in four Australia Cup appearances after being shifted to a left-wing role, including a goal after just 30 seconds in a 4–1 victory over Gold Coast Knights. ^{[9] [10]}

He scored his first goal of the following season in a 1–0 win over Western Sydney Wanderers. ^[11]

On 30 January 2026, Dundee United announced that they had signed Randall on a pre-contract agreement. He agreed to a two-year deal, with the club holding an option to extend the contract by a further year. ^[12]
