A central defender, he was born in Caerphilly, Wales. He joined Cardiff City at the age of 7 years-old.[2][3] He was one of a number of young Welsh players at Cardiff City name-checked by Cardiff U21 boss Darren Purse as having high potential, in May 2024.[4] That season, he had captained the Cardiff City U21 team.[5]

He made his senior debut for Cardiff City under manager Omer Riza, starting their 2-0 FA Cup defeat on 28 February 2025 against Aston Villa, as a 19 year-old.[6][7]

Having established himself as a starting centre-back under new manager Brian Barry-Murphy in the early weeks of the 2025–26 season, he was named EFL Young Player of the Month for August 2025.[8]
