Career

Crystal Palace

Born in Oxford,[1] Street began his career with Crystal Palace. He was released at the age of eight, and proceeded to represent his county Surrey and play for the Whyteleafe under-15s.[2] He returned to Crystal Palace after a successful trial.[2][3] He quickly moved up the youth ranks, being promoted to the under-23 squad at age 16.[2] He turned professional in the summer of 2020.[4]

Street joined Torquay United on loan in January 2021.[5] He made his Torquay debut on 26 January in a 0–0 draw against Sutton United.[6] However, he struggled for gametime, and returned to Crystal Palace in March following 5 appearances without scoring.[1][7]

Despite suffering an injury in November 2021 in the EFL Trophy,[2] Street scored 6 goals in 14 games for the Crystal Palace under-21s.[8] In January 2022, Street was then loaned to Newport County for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.[9] He made his debut for Newport on 29 January as a second-half substitute in the 2–1 League Two win against Barrow.[10] His first start came on 26 February in a 4–2 win over Tranmere Rovers.[11] Street scored his first goal for Newport (and his first senior goal) in the 2–0 League Two win against Stevenage on 12 March.[12] He ended his loan spell with 2 goals in 18 appearances.[13]

Street joined Shrewsbury Town on a season-long loan in September 2022.[14][15] He made his debut on 3 September in a 2–0 win over Forest Green Rovers.[16] He made his full debut on 13 September in a 3–2 victory over Exeter City.[17] He scored his first goal on 10 December in a 3–2 win against Bolton Wanderers.[18] He finished his loan with 4 goals in 43 appearances.[19] He later praised Shrewsbury manager Steve Cotterill, saying, "He was absolutely brilliant for me and one of the best managers I've ever experienced."[2]

Cheltenham Town

In the summer of 2023, Street was offered a new contract by Crystal Palace.[20] However, he rejected the offer as he did not want to go back out on loan, and was released by the club.[2] On 30 June 2023, Street joined League One side Cheltenham Town on a free transfer, signing a three-year contract.[21][19][22] He made his debut on 5 August in a 1–0 defeat against former club Shrewsbury.[23] He scored his first goal for Cheltenham on 7 October, in a 1–1 draw against Derby County.[24] He suffered a knee injury in January 2024 in a match against Derby County, leaving him out for the rest of the season.[25] He finished the season with 3 goals in 26 appearances,[26] as the club was relegated to League Two.[27]

Lincoln City

On 2 July 2024, Street signed for Lincoln City on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[28][29] He made his debut on 10 August in a 3–2 win over Burton Albion.[30] His first goal came in a 5–0 win in the EFL Trophy against Manchester City U21 on 13 November.[31] He only made 6 league appearances before going out on loan in 2025.[32]

On 3 January 2025, Street signed on loan with Doncaster Rovers for the remainder of the season.[33][32] He scored on his debut for the club in a 2–1 defeat to Port Vale on 4 January.[34] Street scored 12 goals for Doncaster during his loan and earned both promotion and the EFL League Two title.[35]

The following season, he returned to Lincoln City, starting the opening day of the 2025–26 season against Reading, where his deflected shot went in off Finley Burns for the opening goal.[36] He scored his first goal on his return against Harrogate Town, scoring the third in a 3–1 victory in the EFL Cup.[37] His first league goal for Lincoln City came in the 1–0 win against Stevenage in October 2025.[38]
