## Career

### Pre-HTU

Youth
Flood played in the youth system of Barnet, prior to playing in the development team of Bowers & Pitsea. At some point before joining HTU, Flood had trials with Ipswich Town and Charlton Athletic.

### HTU

2020–21
At the beginning of 2020–21, Flood joined Kiernan Hughes-Mason's reserve squad. He scored in a pre-season friendly win over Ongar Town on 15 August 2020, prior to making his competitive bow at that level on 7 September as HTU lost 4–3 to Witham Town. Due to the almost immediate curtailment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Flood appeared just twice more for the reserves - though did score a hat-trick in his final game of 2020–21 on 30 October as *The Tags* thrashed Takeley at home 7–2. Across this period, also pre-curtailment, Flood also saw game time at Bishop's Stortford Swifts after HTU and first-team boss Jay Devereux allowed him to dual register there.

At the end of the 2020–21 campaign, Flood was selected to take part in season three of the Hashtag Academy but had to pull out due to injury.

2021–22
Flood was promoted into Jay Devereux's senior squad ahead of the 2021–22 season. After unofficially debuting off the bench in a pre-season win away to ex-club Bowers & Pitsea on 3 July, Flood made it a goalscoring starting bow as he notched the opening goal in a 3–2 victory over Coggeshall United. He netted again three appearances later against Redbridge, as the two teams played out a 3–3 draw. After appearing in 7 of the club's 10 pre-season games, Flood made his competitive debut for HTU on 21 August as *The Tags* were knocked out the FA Cup preliminary round by Ware; he had replaced Bradley Marriott with five minutes remaining at Wodson Park.

On 13 September, Flood notched his first and only assist for HTU in an Isthmian League - North Division win over Maldon & Tiptree. Just over a month later, on 30 October, Flood scored a brace in a mid-season exhibition encounter away to Hertford Town. Slightly under a month later, on 29 November, Flood repeated that feat by netting twice in a 3–2 league victory at home to AFC Sudbury. His seventh and final goal for *The Tags* arrived on 29 January 2022 as they defeated Witham Town 5–1 at the Len Salmon Stadium. Flood left HTU permanently on 10 February 2022.

### Post-HTU

Bishop's Stortford Swifts (dual)
In 2020–21, whilst also featuring for HTU's reserves, Flood was allowed to join Essex Olympian League - Premier Division side Bishop's Stortford Swifts on dual registration terms. He scored on his debut for them, netting the club's only goal in a 3–1 loss at home to Basildon Town on 19 September 2020. Flood netted again in his fourth appearance versus Kelvedon Hatch on 17 October. His final two goals for Bishop's Stortford Swifts came either side of a COVID-19 pandemic-enforced break, firstly converting in a 5 December win over Old Southendian before scoring in a 3 April victory over Sungate.

Brightlingsea Regent
On 10 February 2022, Flood signed with Isthmian League - Premier Division outfit Brightlingsea Regent. His first appearance for *The R's* came on 22 February in a Velocity Sports Trophy loss at home to Haringey Borough, with the midfielder replacing Connor Barnby after 55 minutes. His first start followed on 26 February as they drew 1–1 in the league away to Wingate & Finchley. In total, Flood appeared 13 times for the club in 2021–22 as they finished 18th; 3pts above relegation.

On 21 September 2022, Welwyn Garden City of the Southern League - Division One Central announced the arrival of Flood. He scored against Thame United on 24 October.
