## Career

### Pre-HTU

Youth
Having played alongside future HTU teammate James Philp at some point in his youth career, Page played for Dulwich Hamlet at academy level - notably featuring in the FA Youth Cup in 2010–11 as they reached the third round, losing out to Newcastle United.

Enfield Town
Page was previously attached to Enfield Town around 2014, notably playing in a Middlesex Senior Charity Cup first round match with North Greenford United on 21 October.

Waltham Abbey
From early on in the 2015–16 season, Page was with Isthmian League - Division One North side Waltham Abbey. His first appearance arrived on 15 August 2015 in a 3–2 loss at Aveley, which preceded a further 4 appearances that month for *The Abbott's*. He would feature regularly across the next 3 months, having made 16 appearances by the end of November. Page would, however, not feature again until a 2 April 2016 road win at Bury Town; as he replaced Aaron Omand after 77 minutes. He participated further that month as they placed 21st.

In 2016–17, Page made 9 appearances - many of which came in cup action - from the season's start up until October.

Brentwood Town
Page started appearing for fellow Isthmian League - Division One North club Brentwood Town from January 2017. A 3–2 loss away at Haringey Borough on 7 January saw the goalkeeper make his debut for *The Blues*, which came prior to further appearances that month against Romford, Brightlingsea Regent and Thurrock. He'd make at least 3 appearances in each month across the end of the season as they finished mid-table in 14th. 2017–18 would see Page take part 44 times across all competitions for the club, featuring for the first time on 12 August 2017 versus Hertford Town and for the last time on 13 March 2018 against Canvey Island. Brentwood would eventually avoid relegation by 6 points in 21st, though he switched back to Waltham Abbey for the run-in.

Waltham Abbey (return)
After spending the bulk of the campaign with Brentwood Town, Page headed back to Waltham Abbey for the final month of the Isthmian League - North Division season. He was selected for fixtures with Tilbury, ex-club Brentwood Town, Soham Town Rangers, Potters Bar Town, Dereham Town and AFC Hornchurch across April 2018 as they placed 19th.

Grays Athletic
Page signed with Grays Athletic of the Isthmian League - North Division on 28 June 2018. He wouldn't, however, feature competitively for *The Blues*, but did notably appear in pre-season versus Tilbury, Bromley and an Ipswich Town XI.

Stansted
On 15 September 2018, Page took part in Stansted's Essex Senior League 2–1 road triumph at Tower Hamlets at the Mile End Stadium.

Ware
Within days of playing for Stansted, Page had completed a move to Ware by the end of September 2018. He debuted in a 29 September away draw with Northwood. Overall, the goalkeeper would participate regularly for the following 4 months - culminating with a start on 19 January 2019 against the same opponents from his debut for *The Blues*.

Waltham Abbey (return)
By March 2019, Page had resigned with Waltham Abbey. After a third bow for them on 16 March as Bedfont Sports were defeated 2–1 at Capershotts, the goalkeeper would make 8 total appearances in the Isthmian League - South Central Division to help *The Abbott's* place 9th. His stay lasted until October of the succeeding 2019–20, as he took part in 2 league matches, 2 FA Cup encounters and 2 Velocity Sports Trophy ties before departing once more.

Romford
In early November 2019, Page featured for Romford in Isthmian League - North Division fixtures with Soham Town Rangers (3–3 draw) and Heybridge Swifts (5–1 loss) before quickly leaving in the midst of Glenn Tamplin's controversial ownership of *The Boro*.

Heybridge Swifts
Having joined around December 2019, Page made 2 appearances for Heybridge Swifts against a few former clubs across the first part of 2020. Initially featuring in an Isthmian League - North Division match at Brentwood Town on 21 January, prior to playing in a Tolleshunt D'Arcy Memorial Cup encounter versus Stansted on 3 March - just preceding the division's COVID-19 pandemic-enforced curtailment. He wouldn't appear competitively for them in 2020–21, though would sit on the bench - including in-between dual registration stints at HTU, who he'd eventually leave permanently to.

### HTU

2020–21
On 3 October 2020, it was revealed that Page had joined Essex Senior League team HTU on a dual registration deal from Heybridge Swifts. He went straight into the starting line-up, amid injuries to first-team goalkeepers Jamie Jackson and Tim Pitman, for an FA Cup second qualifying round game at home to Braintree Town. He played the full duration of an eventual 1–1 draw, with Braintree coming out as victors after a penalty shoot-out victory - despite Page saving a spot-kick from Seye Okunlola at the Len Salmon Stadium. His league debut followed on 5 October against St. Margaretsbury, which preceded a third appearance in the FA Vase second qualifying round match versus Wormley Rovers on 10 October.

Page soon left, though returned within a few weeks - again temporarily, though did say "wait and see" when quizzed upon a potential permanent stay with the club. His first competitive fixture back saw him start a 1–0 win over Hoddesdon Town on 26 October. On 1 November, it was confirmed that Page had joined *The Tags* permanently. He would appear thrice across November and December, though the season was interrupted and eventually curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. HTU would, however, win promotion to the Isthmian League - North Division during the off-season.

2021–22
After appearing in pre-season friendlies with Bowers & Pitsea, Coggeshall United, Cray Wanderers, White Ensign, Chalfont St Peter, Herne Bay and Binfield, Page made his first appearance in the Isthmian League - North Division for HTU on 15 August 2021 as the club opened their campaign with a 1–1 versus Coggeshall Town at the Len Salmon Stadium. Page would be a mainstay in Jay Devereux's starting eleven in HTU's maiden step 4 campaign as he started 38 out of 44 competitive fixtures for *The Tags* as they placed 8th.

2022–23
Page would begin 2022–23 by featuring in 4 of the club's 10 exhibition encounters, as James Philp came in as competition in his position - as the player signed from Haverhill Rovers also appeared in pre-season. Page would start on the opening day of the Isthmian League - North Division season as HTU lost at Bury Town on 13 August 2022, as he would for the following 5 competitive matches for *The Tags*. However, from early September to mid-to-late October the goalkeeper was limited to just 1 appearance - a mid-season friendly with Concord Rangers on 1 October. Page would then feature once-a-month across the next 3 months versus Haringey Borough (cup, 24 October), Canvey Island (cup, 28 November) and Bowers & Pitsea (friendly, 20 December).

After being an unused substitute for Isthmian League - North Division triumphs in early 2023 versus East Thurrock United on 13 January and Grays Athletic on 4 February, Page's departure from HTU was officialised on 9 February 2023.

### Post-HTU

East Thurrock United
On 10 February 2023, Page sealed a move across the Isthmian League - North Division to East Thurrock United. He made his first appearance for *The Rocks* a day later, participating in a narrow road victory at Witham Town.

## Personal Life

Page's father passed away around December 2022, with a minute's silence held in honour of him - and the late Martyn Guest - before HTU's win over Gorleston on 10 December.
