Youth years (2012–2016)

Field began his career with spells in the

assisted Scott Hogan for one of the goals from a corner, but was forced off after 53 minutes with a calf injury.[12]

First team (2016–17)

Field was promoted into the first team group during the

brace in a 5–1 FA Cup third round victory over Eastleigh on 7 January 2017.[15] Field lost his place to fit-again Rico Henry in February and ended the 2016–17 season with 17 appearances and three goals.[15]

Out of favour (2017–2020)

With ample cover for Rico Henry at full back, Field joined League One club Bradford City on loan until 1 January 2018,[16] as cover for the injured Adam Chicksen.[17] He made five appearances before dropping to the bench in mid-September after Chicksen returned to fitness.[18] Despite Chicksen suffering a long-term injury in mid-October,[19] Field made just three further appearances before returning to Brentford when his loan expired.[16][18] Field's only call into a Brentford matchday squad during the second half of 2017–18 came on the final day of the season, when he was an unused substitute during a 1–1 draw with Hull City.[2]

After two EFL Cup appearances in August 2018,[20] Field joined League Two club Cheltenham Town on loan until 1 January 2019.[21] During an injury-affected spell,[22] he made just 11 appearances before his loan expired.[23] After his return to Brentford, injuries to full backs Henrik Dalsgaard and Rico Henry saw Field make his final appearance of the season as a substitute for stand-in right back Sergi Canós after 83 minutes of a 1–0 win over Aston Villa on 13 February 2019.[20][24][25]

After failing to win a call into a matchday squad thus far during the 2019–20 season, Field was made available for transfer in January 2020.[26] He departed the club on the final day of the January 2020 transfer window and ended his time at Griffin Park with 21 appearances and three goals.[27][28]

Dundee

On 31 January 2020, Field joined Scottish Championship club Dundee on a contract running until the end of the 2019–20 season.[29] Field made his only appearance for the club as a substitute for Declan McDaid after 75 minutes of a 0–0 draw with Ayr United on 7 March 2020.[30] As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic leading to the suspension and cancellation of the season,[31] Field's contract was extended to 1 July,[32] after which he was released.[33]

Cavalry FC

On 28 December 2020, Field signed a multi-year contract with

hip flexor,[35] he made 12 appearances during a 2021 season which ended with defeat in the play-off semi-finals.[2][36] Field was retained for the 2022 season,[35] but missed the club's pre-season training camp due to a "freak training accident",[37][38] in which he ruptured "pretty much everything in my knee and then my hamstring came off in two different places around my knee as well".[39] He immediately underwent surgery and on 8 November 2022, after missing the entire regular season,[39] it was announced that Field had departed the club.[40]

Calgary Foothills

In January 2023, Field joined FC Tigers Vancouver for off-season training and he trialled unsuccessfully with Vancouver FC.[38][39] On 5 May 2023, he transferred to League1 Alberta club Calgary Foothills and played in the non-competitive 2023 Exhibition Series season.[41] Off the back of an unbeaten regular season,[42] Field captained the club to victory in the championship final.[43]

Return to Cavalry FC

Having proved his fitness while away from the club, Field returned to Cavalry FC on 11 August 2023 and signed a contract running until the end of the 2023 season, with the option of a further year.[44] He made four appearances during the remainder of the season,[45] which culminated in defeat in the 2023 Canadian Premier League final.[46] On 25 January 2024, the club exercised its option on Field's contract for the 2024 season.[45]
