Career

Doncaster Rovers

Born in Leeds,[2] Blythe signed his first professional contract with Doncaster Rovers in July 2020.[3] He made his senior debut as a substitute in a 4–1 League One defeat to Peterborough United on 9 May 2021.[4] On 22 September 2021, he was sent out on a one-month loan to National League North side Farlsey Celtic.[5] Following his return from loan, he made his first league start on 7 December 2021 at home to Oxford United, but was substituted at half-time as Doncaster lost 2–1.[6]

Swansea City

In March 2022, it was announced that Blythe would join EFL Championship club Swansea City's under-23 side at the end of the season, having spent a month at the club on trial and that Blythe would continue to train with Swansea until the end of the season.[7] Doncaster manager Gary McSheffrey confirmed that the club would receive a fee and the agreement included add-ons and a sell-on clause.[7]

On 31 August 2023, Blythe joined Cymru Premier club Barry Town United on a season-long loan deal.[8]

Following the conclusion of the 2023–24 season, Blythe departed Swansea City upon the expiration of his contract.[9]

Non-League

On 30 September 2024, Blyth joined Northern Premier League Division One East club Bradford (Park Avenue).[10]
