Career

Styles developed through the Burnley academy but failed to earn a professional contract and was released aged 16.[3]

Bury

Styles joined League One club Bury and made his professional senior team debut in their final game of the season against Southend United on 8 May 2016. He came on as a 75th-minute substitute for Anthony Dudley as the team won 3–2.[4] In making his debut, Styles became the first player born in the new millennium to make an appearance in the Football League.[5] Bury were later deducted three points after it was found Styles was not properly registered when he made his debut.[6]

Styles signed a professional contract with Bury on 21 February 2017, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal.[7]

Barnsley

On 6 August 2018, Styles signed for League One club Barnsley for £500,000, signing a four-year contract, though returned to Bury on loan until the January transfer window.[8][9] He made 21 appearances in all competitions for Bury before returning to his parent club.[10]

Styles made his debut for Barnsley on 9 March 2019 as a substitute against Accrington Stanley, replacing Mamadou Thiam. He scored his first goal for the Tykes, netting away at Brentford on the final day of the following season, helping the Yorkshire outfit retain their Championship status. [11]
