Sweet, who turns 25 on Sunday, began his career at Gateshead, where he boosted an impressive goalscoring record for their under-19s – winning the Football Conference Youth Alliance North Division in 2012 – and reserve side.
Sweet
appeared for England Schoolboys in 2011/12 and scored the opener for the Three
Lions in an encounter with Scotland at St James’s Park in front of 2,500
spectators.
While a
first-team opportunity at Gateshead never arrived, Sweet made his senior debut
for home-town club Darlington on loan in 2012 but saw his spell abruptly cut
short due to injury and was released by the Heed at the end of the season.
Billingham
Synthonia quickly snapped up Sweet’s signature and he was voted the club’s player
of the year with 32 goals in his debut season.
His knack
for scoring goals has followed him throughout his career after Sweet ended his
four seasons at Consett with a remarkable 128 goals in just 173 games.
Sweet
told http://www.blythspartans.com: “I’m
very excited about joining Blyth Spartans,” Sweet said. “It was a very easy
decision because of the level and the standard is high.
“After a
conversation with Peter Jeffries and a few other people I had to jump at this
chance – I just want to play at the highest level I can.
“I like
to play through the middle as a number 9, play in behind, run the channels and
just get myself in the box as much as I can, and try my best to put the chances
I get away”. |
