Ben started with his local town club of Burnley, but opted to join Carlisle on a YTS scheme in 2009. After just a season, he had impressed so much that he was offered first team terms and made his debut appearance in the FA Cup, when Carlisle beat Tipton Town 6-0. He made one more first team appearance as a substitute (against Sheffield Wednesday in the league) before being sent on loan to Annan Athletic in the Scottish Third division, for whom he made fourteen first team appearances. In 2013, Carlisle said they would not be renewing his contract, and he joined Workington. He was ever present in the starting line up for Workington, making nearly fifty appearances and scoring four times. With a Northern Irish parent, Ben was eligible to play for Northern Ireland, and has made eight appearances for his national side at Under 19s, Under 18s and Under 17s levels.
