Career

Oxford United

Born in Oxford,[2] Lofthouse started his career with Oxford United, making his senior debut in a 2–1 EFL Trophy victory over Norwich City U21 on 3 September 2019.[3]

He joined Oxford City on a one-month loan in November 2019,[4] before his loan was extended by a further two months in December 2019.[5] He returned to the club on another one-month loan in February 2020 after the previous deal expired.[6] He appeared in 15 league matches for City in total, scoring three goals.[2]

In May 2020, he was offered a new one-year contract by Oxford United.[7]

On 26 October 2020, Lofthouse joined National League side Woking on a month-long loan,[8][9] A day later, he went onto make his debut during a 1–0 away defeat to Boreham Wood, starting the fixture before being replaced by Max Kretzschmar in the 68th minute.[10] His loan was subsequently extended by a further month in December[11] and then again, in January 2021, until the end of the 2020–21 season.[12] Proceeding this, just six days later, Lofthouse went onto score the winning penalty for the Cards during their FA Trophy fourth round penalty shootout triumph over Bromley.[13] On 16 March 2021, Lofthouse registered his first goal for the club in a 1–1 home draw against Altrincham, putting the Cards ahead in the 18th minute before a late equaliser from Josh Hancock in the 92nd minute.[14]

Woking

On 6 July 2021, Lofthouse returned to Woking on a permanent basis for an undisclosed fee, agreeing to a two-year deal.[15] He made his first appearance of the 2021–22 campaign, during the Cards' 2–1 victory at Wealdstone, featuring for the full 90 minutes.[16] Similarly to his first Woking goal, Lofthouse once again netted against Altrincham this time in February 2022 with a long range effort (which was eventually awarded as the club's goal of the season)[17] to give The Cards a 2–0 lead, with the game ultimately finishing in a 2–2 draw.[18] Within the same month and subsequently manager's, Alan Dowson final game in charge with the Surrey-based side, Lofthouse was forced off with a season-ending injury during their 2–0 defeat to Notts County.[19] On 11 May 2022, Lofthouse was announced as The Woking News and Mail Young Player of the Year for the 2021–22 campaign.[17]

Barnsley

On 28 July 2023, following his departure from Woking, Lofthouse agreed to join League One club Barnsley on a three-year deal.[20] He made his debut during an EFL Cup tie in early August in a 2–2 draw with Tranmere Rovers.[21]

On 22 September 2023, Lofthouse joined Gateshead on loan until January 2024.[22]
