Born in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, Eastwood joined Sheffield United's youth academy at the age of 10.[3] In his youth, he has spent time on loan with Sheffield,[4] Gainsborough Trinity and Mickleover Sports for first team experience.[5]
Sheffield United
In April 2016, Eastwood was one of four youth players to sign professional terms with Sheffield United.[6] He started the 2017–18 season as deputy to loanee Jamal Blackman, who himself was signed to cover for injured first team keeper Simon Moore.[5] On 9 August 2017, Eastwood made his senior first-team debut in the Football League Cup in a 3–2 home victory over Walsall at Bramall Lane.[7] He started again in the Blades' next tie in the League Cup which ended in a 4–1 home defeat to the visitors Leicester City of the Premier League, which knocked the Blades out of the competition.[8]
In November 2017, Eastwood signed a new long-term contract, committing to the Blades until 2020.[3] He then joined Chesterfield on an emergency loan.[9]
On 5 July 2019, Eastwood joined Scunthorpe United on a season-long loan deal.[10] After injuries to Sheffield United goalkeepers Simon Moore and Michael Verrips, he was recalled by his parent club in January 2020.[11] As a result, he was on the bench for their Premier League game against West Ham United.[12]
On 30 July 2020, Eastwood signed for Scottish Premiership club Kilmarnock on a six-month loan.[13] He made his debut on 1 August 2020, in Kilmarnock's opening game of the season, away to Hibernian, however he had to be substituted at half-time due to injury.[14] On 11 January 2021, he returned to Sheffield United after making two appearances in all competitions.[15]
On 1 February 2021, Eastwood joined League Two side Grimsby Town on loan for the remainder of the 2020-21 season.[16]
