Playing career
Green began his career with Brockenhurst and Christchurch, working under Graham Kemp, before moving to Conference South club Eastleigh for a trial in summer 2009.[2][3] He won a contract at the club after impressing in pre-season friendlies and the South West Challenge Cup, but did not play a competitive game for the club.[3] Instead he joined Totton on loan in August 2009 in order to gain experience,[4][5] before the deal was later made permanent for a £7,500 fee.[3]
He played 46 games in 2009–10, scoring once against Bishop's Cleeve, and winning two man of the match awards, as Totton finished second in the Southern Football League Division One South & West.[6] He also played in the defeat to Cirencester Town in the play-off semi-finals.[6] The 2010–11 campaign would be one of the most successful in the club's history, as they topped the division after finishing just two points ahead of Sholing.[7] In May 2011 he won the Hampshire Senior Cup with Totton, following a 3–1 victory over Sholing at St Mary's Stadium.[8]
Green had trials with Reading, Millwall,[9] and Wycombe Wanderers,[10] before he was signed as a 22 year old by Micky Adams' League Two side Port Vale in July 2011.[11][12] He described the move into professional football as "a dream come true".[13] He made his debut on the opening day of the 2011–12 season, as Vale drew 2–2 with Crawley Town at Vale Park.[14] He played four further games, before he returned to Eastleigh on a one month emergency loan deal on 20 October.[15] He made his debut two days later, and scored in 3–0 win over Welling United, also picking up the man of the match award.[16] As his loan spell was coming to an end, it was revealed that Green had asked to have his Port Vale contract terminated so that he could move closer to his family, and the club 'reluctantly agreed' to his request.[17]
