Webster made his first-team debut for York City against Burton Albion in the Conference National on 29 December 2004.[9] He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–2 draw against Stevenage Borough on 8 January 2005.[9] He finished the 2004–05 season with 16 appearances and one goal.[9] He made four appearances in all competitions in 2005–06.[10] He signed his first professional contract with York in July 2006.[11] He made four appearances in 2006–07,[12] before being released in February 2007 at his own request.[13] After his release, Webster contemplated retiring and enrolling in university.[14] He signed for Conference North club Harrogate Town in the same month and made his debut against Scarborough in a 1–0 home defeat on 3 February 2007.[15][16] Whilst being registered with Harrogate, he played three games for Whitby Town in the Northern Premier League Premier Division.[17][18] He ended the season with nine appearances for Harrogate.[16]

Baník Most

Webster signed a one-year contract with Czech First League club FK SIAD Most (known as FK Baník Most from 2008 onwards) in August 2007, with an option of an extension until 2010.[19] He made his debut in a 5–2 defeat against Baník Ostrava on 11 August 2007.[20] The 2007–08 concluded with Most suffering relegation to the Czech 2.

Webster had a trial with Bury in July 2009, before leaving to trial with Doncaster Rovers.[24][25] He gave a "composed performance" in a pre-season friendly against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Doncaster manager Sean O'Driscoll was looking to complete a deal for him to sign for the club.[26][27] He eventually signed for the Championship club on an initial two-year contract for an undisclosed fee on 5 August 2009.[28] Webster made his Doncaster debut in a 1–0 victory away to Notts County in the League Cup first round on 11 August 2009.[29] He joined League Two club Hereford United on 18 November 2010 on a one-month loan.[30]

Yeovil Town

On 4 July 2012, Webster's contract with Northampton Town was terminated by mutual consent and later that day signed for League One club Yeovil Town on a two-year contract.[34] He scored his first goal for Yeovil in 2–1 victory over Bury, after an attempted clearance from a corner struck him, sending it into the goal.[35] Webster played in the 2–1 victory over Brentford in the 2013 League One play-off final at Wembley Stadium on 19 May 2013, seeing Yeovil win promotion to the Championship for the first time in their history.[36] He finished 2012–13 with 53 appearances and five goals for Yeovil.[37] Webster made 45 appearances and scored four goals in 2013–14[38] as Yeovil were relegated to League One in bottom place.[39]
