Club Career

Brentford

After beginning his career in the Heart of Midlothian and Aston Villa academies, Pressley transferred to the B team at Championship club Brentford on 29 January 2020. During what remained of the COVID-19-affected 2019–20 season, he scored three goals in six appearances. As a result of the EFL permitting 9 substitutes to be named in matchday squads partway through the 2020–21 season, Pressley was promoted onto the first team substitutes' bench and was named in 15 matchday squads between November 2020 and February 2021. He made three substitute appearances during the period, but was not involved in Brentford's promotion-winning playoff campaign at the end of the season. Pressley scored 19 goals in 26 B team appearances during the 2020–21 season, was named the team's Players' Player of the Year and signed a new two-year contract, with a one-year option, in May 2021. After Brentford's promotion to the Premier League, Pressley departed on loan for the duration of the 2021–22 season.

AFC Wimbledon (loan)

On 16 July 2021, Pressley joined League One club AFC Wimbledon on a season-long loan.
