Career

Huddersfield Town

Born in Halifax, West Yorkshire,[2] Senior started out at Elland Juniors before joining the youth system at Huddersfield Town aged 10.[4] He began a two-year scholarship at the start of 2013–14,[5] before signing his first professional contract with the club for 2015–16.[6] Senior was involved in the first-team pre-season programme,[7] but predominantly played for the Development Squad that won the Northern Division by eight points, for whom he scored two goals from 36 appearances.[8] At the end of the season, Huddersfield took up the option to extend Senior's contract by a further year.[9]

Luton Town

Senior signed for League Two club Luton Town on a two-year contract on 31 August 2016.[10] After signing for Luton, manager Nathan Jones said "He ticks all the boxes for us. He's a young, hungry and athletic player who wants to learn."[10] He suffered an injury setback in training,[11] though he made his Luton debut on 4 October, starting in their 2–0 victory at home to West Bromwich Albion U21 in the EFL Trophy.[4][12] Senior made his English Football League debut as a 56th-minute substitute for Jordan Cook in a 2–1 win away to Crewe Alexandra on 14 January 2017.[13] Thereafter, he made 10 consecutive starts,[14] which ended when he was rested for Luton's league match against Yeovil Town on 4 March.[15] Senior started in Luton's 1–1 draw at home to Exeter City two weeks later,[16] but missed their subsequent four matches after he was sidelined with a foot injury.[17] In April 2017, he was named in the EFL Trophy Team of the Tournament.[18] Despite being available for selection, Senior made no further appearances and finished 2016–17 with 16 appearances.[14]

On 14 November 2017, Senior signed a one-year contract extension with Luton, with the option of a further year.[19]
