Having started his career in the youth sides at Southampton and then Portsmouth, [1] Page signed for Motherwell in 2008. He made his debut for Motherwell in a Europa League first qualifying round match against Llanelli on 9 July 2009. [2] He also featured in the next round, against Flamurtari. [3] [4]

In February 2009, Page signed on loan for Stirling Albion until the end of the 2009–10 season. [5] He scored his first senior goals scoring twice against East Fife in a 3–0 win for Stirling. [5] The loan was to prove beneficial, as Page helped The Binos to the Second Division title, earning promotion to the First Division. [6]

On his return to Motherwell, Page signed a one-year contract extension, until 2012. [7] He scored his first goal for Motherwell in a Europa League third qualifying round second-leg match against Aalesunds of Norway, the third goal for The Steelmen in a 3–0 win. [8] He then followed that up with a double in a 2–0 win over Brechin City in the League Cup on 21 September 2010. [9]

On 27 September 2012, with first-team opportunities limited, Page went on a one-month loan to Lanarkshire derby rivals Hamilton Academical. [10] [11] That was later extended by a further month, [12] and extended further until 27 December 2012. [13]

On 31 December 2012, Motherwell announced that Page would be released from his contract six-months early, making him free to sign for another club. [14] Two days later, Page signed a permanent deal with Hamilton Academical until the end of the season. [15]

On 18 June 2013, Page signed for Morton. [16] On 23 January 2014, he left Morton by mutual consent. [17]

After leaving Morton, Page signed for Scottish League One club Dunfermline Athletic on 24 January 2014. [18] He made his debut for Dunfermline in the 3–1 victory over Fife rivals East Fife on 1 February 2014

On 11 September 2014, Page signed for Scottish League Two club East Fife on a three-month loan. [19] After the loan ended in December, Page returned to Dunfermline and featured in the loss against Airdrieonians. [20] The following month he returned on loan to Bayview Stadium for the remainder of the season. [21] After just one season with The Pars, Page was released by the club. [22]

After leaving Dunfermline, Page signed a permanent deal with East Fife. [23]

Page spent three seasons with the Methil side before joining Airdrieonians in June 2018. [24] At the end of the 2018–19 season, he was made available for transfer by Airdrieonians. [25]

After spending time training with Peterhead, [26] Page signed for Brechin City on 13 August 2019. [27]

Page then moved to Clyde in June 2021. [28] On 3 May 2022, Page was one of ten players released by the club at the end of the 2021–22 season. [29]

After Clyde, Page moved to East Kilbride for a season and then returned to former club East Fife in January 2023.

Page signed for Broxburn Athletic in August 2024. [30]
