Born in Witney, Oxfordshire, [1] D'Ath was named in the Reading matchday squad for the first time on 11 August 2010, remaining an unused substitute in their 1–0 win away to Torquay United in the League Cup first round. [3] He signed a new two-year professional contract in April 2011, having scored at a prolific rate for the reserve and academy teams. [4] [5] He made his debut on 7 January 2012 in the third round of the FA Cup at home to Stevenage, coming on as an 87th-minute substitute for Shaun Cummings. [6]

On 9 February 2012, D'Ath joined League One club Yeovil Town on a one-month youth loan. [7] He made his Football League debut in a 3–2 win away to Wycombe Wanderers on 14 February, before scoring his first professional goal in a 3–2 win at home to Colchester United four days later.
