After playing youth football with Watford and non-league football with Barton Rovers, Anderson turned professional with Crystal Palace in 2015.

Career

After spending time with the Watford Academy,[4] Anderson began his senior career with Barton Rovers, scoring 32 goals in 53 games in all competitions,[5] including 26 league goals in 41 matches.[6] After scoring a hat-trick in 6 minutes while on trial at Brentford against Crystal Palace, the latter club signed him in February 2015.[4] He scored on his debut for the Palace under-21 team,[7] and a day later Palace manager Alan Pardew stated that Anderson would be in his senior squad for the forthcoming game away at Leicester City on 7 February.[8][9]

Anderson joined Doncaster Rovers on a one-month loan on 24 September 2015[10] and made his Football League debut against Sheffield United a couple of days later.[11] In October, the loan was extended until January 2016.[12] On 21 November, Anderson suffered a broken leg in a match against Rochdale, and returned to Palace.[13]

On 31 August 2016, it was confirmed that Anderson had moved to Football League One side Bolton Wanderers on a season-long loan deal.[14] He scored on his Bolton debut three days later as the Wanderers came from behind to draw 1–1 with Southend United at the Macron Stadium.[15] Crystal Palace recalled Anderson on 16 January 2017,[16] and he signed for Northampton Town on loan the next day.[17]

On 31 August 2017, Anderson joined League Two side Swindon Town on loan until January 2018.[18] Two days later, Anderson made his Swindon debut in their 4–1 home defeat against Barnet, featuring for 66 minutes before being replaced by Kaiyne Woolery.[19] On 16 September 2017, Anderson scored his first goal for Swindon during their 3–2 home victory over Stevenage, doubling the hosts lead in the 13th minute.[20] After the conclusion of his loan period, Anderson joined Swindon on a permanent transfer on 16 January 2018.[21]
