Playing career

[edit | edit source]

Exeter City

[edit | edit source]

Prior to joining the Exeter City Academy, Storey played for South Petherton, Chard Town and Mere Town.[3] He joined Southern League Premier Division side Bideford on a short-term loan in March 2016,[4] before being offered professional terms in May of the same year.[5] He made his first-team debut for Exeter on 30 August 2016, coming on as a 62nd-minute substitute for Pierce Sweeney in a 4–2 defeat at Oxford United in an EFL Trophy group stage match.[6]

Storey joined Southern League Division One South & West side Tiverton Town in March 2017,[7] playing 6 times as they clinched promotion to the Southern League Premier Division.[8] The young defender began the following season on loan at Dorchester Town,[9] playing 13 fixtures before being recalled by Exeter in late October due to an accumulation of injuries to first-team defenders.[10] He made his league debut in a 1–1 draw at Mansfield Town on 28 October 2017, being subbed on in the 94th minute in place of striker Reuben Reid after right-back Kane Wilson was sent off.[11]

Storey's first league start came in a 1–0 defeat to Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on 3 February 2018.[12] The following month, Storey scored his first goal in professional football − a left-footed volley in a 1–0 victory over Port Vale at Vale Park.[13] He made 17 appearances in all competitions scoring 2 goals during the 2017–18 season as he helped Exeter reach the 2018 EFL League Two play-off final, which they lost on 28 May against Coventry City.[14]

Preston North End

[edit | edit source]

On 12 June 2018, Storey signed for EFL Championship side Preston North End on a four-year contract, moving for a 'substantial undisclosed fee'.[15][16] On 20 September 2021, Storey signed a 3-year contract extension with the Lilywhites following a strong start to the 2021/2022 season.[17]

On 19 January 2022, he was sent on loan to Sheffield Wednesday for the remainder of the season.[18] He would make his debut on 29 January, starting the game against Ipswich Town.[19] His first goal of his loan spell would be against Bolton Wanderers on 9 April 2022.[20]
