Club Career

Tottenham and loan moves

A Tottenham Hotspur youth graduate, he joined the club's youth setup in 2011 from Watford and appeared in 17 matches during his first campaign, scoring one goal.

Ball appeared with the under-18s and with the under-21s in 2013–14, and was also named on the bench in a 2–2 UEFA Europa League away draw against Benfica on 20 March 2014. He was also an unused substitute in two further matches for Spurs in 2014–15, a 1–0 home win against Partizan and a 2–1 away win against Hull City.

On 22 January 2015, Ball was loaned to League Two side Cambridge United until the end of the season. He made his professional debut five days later, starting in a 1–1 home draw against Dagenham & Redbridge. He was used mainly as a right-back, making two assists in his time at the club.

On 14 August 2015, Ball signed a season-long loan deal with Scottish Championship club Rangers, reuniting with his Watford academy manager Mark Warburton. At Rangers, he helped them return to the Scottish Premiership as they won the Championship and also picked up honours when they won the Scottish Challenge Cup.

Rotherham United

On 12 August 2016, Ball signed for Championship side Rotherham United on a three-year deal. He was released from his contract at the end of the 2018–19 season, having spent all but five months of his three-year deal out on loan.

On 3 January 2017, Ball joined Peterborough United on loan until the end of the season. He scored his first goal for Peterborough against Shrewsbury on the 14th of February. The loan ended early on 2 March 2017, after Ball had a disagreement with staff at Peterborough United.
