Born in Blackpool, Lancashire, Kay made his debut for Blackpool against Scunthorpe United on 13 November 2005, in front of the Sky Sports cameras, setting a new club record as the youngest player, at 16 years 32 days, ever to play for Blackpool in a league match. Trevor Sinclair previously held the Blackpool record for a league match after his debut in 1989, at the age of 16 years 170 days. At the time, Kay was still a pupil at Collegiate High School in Blackpool.[1] Kay signed professional terms with Blackpool in June 2006 after leaving school the previous month.[2] On 7 May 2008 Blackpool activated an option to extend his contract with the club by one year.[3]
On 9 June 2009, Blackpool confirmed that Kay had not been offered a new deal and that he was being released.[4]
He joined Bamber Bridge in September 2012.[12] where he became club captain over a number of successful league campaigns.[13] He left the club in the summer of 2016 after being told by the manager his future did not lie with the club. However, in June 2017 he rejoined Bamber Bridge.[14]
Later careeredit
Following his departure from Bamber Bridge, he signed for Blackpool Wren Rovers before transferring to Squires Gate.[15]
