Early life

Bush was born in Leytonstone, Greater London.[3]

Club career

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” against Crawley as the Dons were thrashed 5-2 by the Red Devils 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]
