Career

Skinner began his early career with Bury. He was part of the U18 team that reached the FA Youth Cup quarter-finals, appearing in the 1–5 defeat to Liverpool.[1]

Following the closure of Bury's academy due to their expulsion from the Football League, in October 2019, Skinner joined Bolton Wanderers' academy. His stay at Bolton was short-lived however, as the following month he joined Tottenham Hotspur's academy. He signed his first professional contract with Tottenham on his 18th birthday.[2]

In March 2021, Skinner went on trial at Sunderland.[3] He was released by Tottenham in May 2021.[4][5]

In November 2021, Skinner signed for Northern Premier League Premier Division club Bamber Bridge.[6] He was named the club's Player of the Season at the end of the 2022–23 season.[7]

On 24 May 2023, Skinner joined National League North club Hereford.[7] He made his debut in their first home league fixture of the season.[8]
