    Career

    [edit]

    Porter was born in Biddulph and joined the Stoke City Academy from a young age.[2] He progressed through the youth teams and was made captain of the under-18 side by Kevin Russell.[2] In October 2019, he joined Northern Premier League side Leek Town on loan,[3] where he made three appearances in all competitions.[4] He began to travel with the first team towards the end of the 2019–20 season and was named on the bench against Nottingham Forest.[2] Porter made his professional debut on 10 August 2021 in a EFL Cup match against Fleetwood Town.[5] On 5 November 2021 Porter joined National League side Altrincham on a four-week youth loan.[6] Porter made ten appearances for the Robins before returning to Stoke.[7] Porter was released by Stoke at the end of the 2021–22 season, having spent 14 years at the club.[8]

    Following his release from Stoke City, Porter signed for EFL League Two club Salford City.[9] On 21 October 2022, Porter joined Southern Football League Premier Division South club Truro City on loan,[10] where he remained until February 2023. On the expiry of his contract with Salford City, Porter returned to Truro on a permanent basis ahead of the 2023–24 season,[11] and went on to make 40 appearances for the club in the National League South, scoring 7 goals.[12] In August 2024, he joined another previous loan club, Leek Town, recently promoted to the Northern Premier League Premier Division.[13]
