Early career

Butler joined Portsmouth's youth categories in 2004, aged 10, and signed a two-year scholarship with Pompey on 15 July 2010.[2] On 26 June 2012, he signed a one-year professional deal.[3]

On 14 August 2012, he made his debut in the League Cup in a 3–0 defeat at Plymouth Argyle.[4]

Loan to Havant & Waterlooville

On 2 November 2012, Butler joined Havant & Waterlooville on a one-month youth loan deal from Portsmouth.[5][6] He was assigned the number 3 shirt. In the following day, he made his debut for the Hawks in a 1–0 loss to Welling in a Conference South match.[7] He was named the Hawks’ player of the month for November.[8] In the following month, he was named again as player of the month.[9] He went on to make eight appearances during his time at Hawks.

Breakthrough

Butler was recalled on 8 January 2013, and was included on first-team squad due to player shortage.[10] On 26 January 2013 he made his senior league debut in a League One match at Fratton Park, against Hartlepool United, starting the match.[11]

Butler finished the season with 17 league appearances, 15 as a starter. On 14 May 2013, he signed a new two-year contract with Pompey, running until June 2015.[12] After struggling to find his old form, Butler signed with Aldershot Town on loan on 31 October.[13] He returned to Pompey in December, after suffering a knee injury while on loan at Aldershot.[14]

On 11 March of the following year, after being fully recovered from injury, Butler rejoined the Shots.[15] He was a first-choice for Pompey in the 2014–15 season, but was still released on 18 May 2015.[16]
