Club Career

Tottenham Hotspur

After being released from Chelsea as a schoolboy, Austin joined Tottenham Hotspur in 2015. In his first year with the club he was limited to five appearances with the under-18 team. The following year he made 16 appearances, more than any other under-18 goalkeeper at the club during the 2016–17 season. In the same season he also made two appearances for the under-23 in the Premier League 2 and a further appearance in the 2016–17 UEFA Youth League.

After traveling with the Spurs first-team during the team's 2017 preseason tour of the United States, he made the permanent step up to under-23 level for the 2017–18 season. During the season he made two appearances during the 2017–18 EFL Trophy against EFL clubs Luton Town and AFC Wimbledon and was a key part of the team's run to the 2017–18 UEFA Youth League quarter-finals before being eliminated by Monaco on penalties.

During the 2019–20 season, Austin traveled with the first-team as the emergency third goalkeeper for a few weeks. He was named as a first-team substitute for the first time on 19 October 2019 for Spurs' Premier League match against Watford as a backup to Paulo Gazzaniga following an injury to Hugo Lloris and ahead of fellow academy team-mate Alfie Whiteman. He signed a new two-and-a-half-year contract with Spurs in December 2019.
