Club career edit
Bush came through the youth system of Brentford and spent a loan spell during the 2009–10 season with Conference side Salisbury City.[4] At the start of the 2010–11 season he spent a month on loan at Conference South team Woking.[5] As soon as his loan spell finished at Woking, Bush was again sent out on loan, this time to Conference National side AFC Wimbledon for four months until January 2011.[6] He also spent time on loan at Thurrock.[7]
In June 2011, Bush signed permanently for the newly promoted Dons side in League Two after rejecting a new contract at Griffin Park.[8] During his time at Kingsmeadow he scored what his manager Terry Brown described as a "ridiculous own goal" as the Dons were thrashed 5–2 by Crawley Town on 22 October 2011.[9]
On 21 June 2012, Bush signed for Gateshead.[10] On 8 January 2013, Bush joined Lincoln City on a one-month loan.[11] On 28 March 2013, Bush joined Hereford United on loan for the remainder of the 2012–13 season.[12] On 25 April 2013, Bush was one of seven players released by Gateshead.[13]
On 19 June 2013, Bush signed a one-year contract with Hereford United.[14]
On 11 June 2014, Bush signed a one-year contract with Welling United.[15]
In May 2015 he left Welling United and signed for Lincoln City.[16]
On 26 June 2016, Bush dropped down a division to join National League South club Chelmsford City.[17] On 6 August 2016, Bush scored on his debut for Chelmsford in a 2–2 draw against Truro City.[18]
On 25 August 2017, Bush signed for Ebbsfleet United.[19]
He moved to Bromley in May 2019.[20] On 28 September 2019, following an injury to goalkeeper Mark Cousins, Bush played in goal for the rest of the match against Yeovil Town as there was no substitute goalkeeper. He conceded three goals in a 3–1 loss.[21]
He left Bromley and signed for Boreham Wood on 31 December 2022.[22]
