Early and personal life

Lauton attended St Patrick's College in Ballarat, Victoria, from 2015 to 2020. [1] He played for Ballarat City as a youth, [2] [3] and for three years in the academy of Western United, before turning professional in 2024. [1] After finishing school, he began a degree in civil engineering at Federation University Australia. [1]

Lauton has two brothers, Brandon and Leighton, who also play soccer. [2]

Career

Lauton made his senior debut for Western United in A-League Men on 3 February 2024, as a 63rd-minute substitute in a 2–2 home draw with Sydney FC. [4] He became the 4,000th male to play in a national league in Australia, either the A-League or the National Soccer League. [4]

On 3 January 2025, Lauton scored the winning goal from an overhead kick as Western United came from 2–1 down after 90 minutes to win 3–2 at Perth Glory. [5] He received a second yellow card and was sent off for his goal celebration, therefore being suspended for the following game against Melbourne City; Western United manager John Aloisi said "When you score goals like that, you probably can take off your top". [5] Later that month, his contract was extended for two more years. [6] At the end of the 2024–25 A-League Men season, his goal was voted the Goal of the Year. [7]

Due to financial problems, Western United was excluded from the 2025–26 A-League Men, and the players' contracts were terminated. [8] On 18 September 2025, Lauton signed a two-year deal at Brisbane Roar. [8]
