Career.
Early career.
As a youth footballer, Foster spent time on the books at Stoke City and Derby County. He played under Darren Wassall as a second year scholar at Derby before being moved to the under-23 squad at the end of the 2019–20 Academy season. He played six games in the club's UEFA Youth League run in 2019–20.
After being released from Derby at the end of the 2020–21 season, Foster signed for Ilkeston of the Northern Premier League Division One Midlands on 3 October 2021. On 21 November 2021, he joined Nuneaton Borough in the Southern League Premier Division Central.
West Bromwich Albion.
Foster joined West Bromwich Albion and was in goal as Richard Beale's under-21 side reached the semi-finals of the Birmingham Senior Cup in 2023. He played for the Baggies in Premier League 2. On 11 August 2023, he joined National League North club Rushall Olympic on a one-month loan. He signed a one-year contract with West Brom in August 2023. On 5 October 2023, he joined Southern League Premier Division Central side Alvechurch on a 28-day loan. The loan was extended until 28 January after he kept two clean sheets in four games for the Cherries. He departed The Hawthorns at the end of the 2023–24 season.
Wrexham.
On 7 December 2024, Foster signed with EFL League One club Wrexham on a short-term deal following injuries to Arthur Okonkwo and Callum Burton, with manager Phil Parkinson feeling that youth goalkeeper Liam Hall was too inexperienced. He made his debut for the Red Dragons three days later, in an EFL Trophy match against Crewe Alexandra, keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 win at the Racecourse Ground and being voted as man of the match by Wrexham fans. He then signed a contract to run until the end of the 2024–25 season, with the option of an additional year. He departed the club upon the expiration of his contract as Parkinson could only name a 25-man squad in the Championship.
Foster began training with Port Vale in June 2025.
