Club career

Born in Nantwich, [2] Piggott had spells with Rochdale and the club he supported, Everton, [2] before joining Scottish Championship club Dundee United in September 2017. [3] He went onto make his first-team debut for United in a Scottish Challenge Cup tie against Alloa Athletic, playing for 71 minutes in a 3–1 victory. [4]

After one further first team appearance for Dundee United, Piggott was released and returned to England, joining Northern Premier League club Warrington Town in January 2018. [5] He scored an equalising goal on his debut in an FA Trophy defeat to National League South club Wealdstone. [6] Four days later, he scored two goals against Matlock Town. [7] Piggott's form at Warrington led to a transfer to EFL Championship club Wigan Athletic in August 2018. [8]

After playing for Wigan's under-23 side in pre-season, Piggott was loaned to League Two club Morecambe until January 2019 [9] and went onto make his debut during a 3–2 defeat to Bury. [10] Three days later, he scored his first goal for the club during an EFL Trophy defeat to Carlisle United, giving Morecambe a 2–1 lead in the 24th minute. [11]

Piggott first joined National League North club Altrincham on loan in January 2019, scoring his first goals for the club in a 6–0 win over Curzon Ashton. [12] [13] In September 2019 he went on loan again, joining Stockport County in the National League, [14] before returning to Wigan later that month. [15] On 22 January 2021, Piggott left Wigan Athletic by mutual consent. [16]

On 30 January 2021, Piggott rejoined Altrincham, now in the National League, on a contract until the end of the 2021-22 season. [17]

Piggott joined National League North side AFC Fylde on a short-term deal in August 2021, [18] a deal that was renewed into a one-year deal in October with the club holding an option for another year. [19] In October 2022, Piggott joined Radcliffe. [20]

In February 2024, Piggott joined Victoria Premier League Division 2 club Pascoe Vale. [21] He returned to England in January 2025, joining Atherton Collieries, a move which saw him reunite with former manager Michael Clegg. [22]
