Career

Foulston was a product of the Newport County academy and was promoted to the first team squad in July 2017 following appearances in Newport's pre-season friendly matches.[2]

He made his senior debut at 16 years old for Newport County on 8 August 2017 in a Football League Cup first round match versus Southend United, during which he entered into play as a late second-half substitute. Newport won the game 2–0.[3] His debut aged 16 years 08 months and 12 days made him the third youngest ever County player, behind Regan Poole and Steve Aizlewood[4]

On 16 April 2018, he signed his first professional contract at Newport until June 2020.[5] On 10 January 2019, he joined Merthyr Town on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season.[6] On 11 July 2019, he joined Chippenham Town on loan until the end of the 2019-20 season.[7]

He was released by Newport County at the end of the 2019-20 season.[8] On August 24, 2020 he was signed on free transfer from Newport County to Taunton Town.
