Career

Having come through the Crewe Alexandra academy system, Booth signed his first professional contract with Crewe Alexandra in 2022. [2] In August 2022, he joined Kidsgrove Athletic on loan for a month, [3] getting sent off in his second appearance against Newcastle Town, [4] before joining Northern Premier League Premier Division side Nantwich Town on loan in October until January 2023. [5] [6] The Nantwich Town loan was subsequently extended to the end of season, [7] but Booth was twice recalled to provide first-team cover following loan goalkeeper changes (on 13 January, he was temporarily recalled for seven days following Arthur Okonkwo's return to Arsenal; in early April, he was finally recalled following an injury to loan keeper James Beadle).

Replacing Dave Richards in the starting line-up for Crewe's final four games of the season, Booth made his first team debut, aged 18, in an EFL League Two match at Grimsby Town on 25 April 2023, which Crewe lost 2–0. [8] He was offered a new contract by the club, [9] and signed a two-year deal in June 2023. [10]

Booth played in nine successive first team games, keeping three clean sheets, from mid-December 2023, but was injured in Crewe's match at Tranmere Rovers on 3 February 2024. After a heavy collision with a Rovers striker, Booth was taken to Arrowe Park Hospital for treatment for a pneumothorax (collapsed lung). [11] [12] After release from hospital on 7 February, he resumed training in mid February [13] and returned to Crewe's starting line-up in March.

Family

Booth's older brother Sam Booth, formerly at Leek Town, was also a Crewe youth goalkeeper. [14] [15]
