Club Career

Early Career in England

Born in Middlesbrough, England, Edwards started his football career at Thornaby before joining the Middlesbrough academy when he was twelve. Soon after, Edwards signed a scholarship and a three–year professional contract. However, in March 2013, he was released by the academy system.

Following his release by the club, Edwards went on a trial at Birmingham City, Bristol City, Hartlepool United and Hibernian but were unsuccessful, leading him to drift away from football. In September 2013, he joined Darlington. He made his Darlington debut on 19 September 2013, in a 3–1 win over Harton & Westoe in the Durham Challenge Cup. By the end of October, he made ten appearances for the side. Despite performing well for the side in a number of matches, Edwards soon lost his first team place.

Despite signing an 18 months contract with Darlington, Edwards joined Thornaby in late–December, where his father, Paul, was the club's assistant manager.
