Club career
Driver joined as a youth team player for West Ham aged 12 and signed his first professional contract with the club in July 2011.[3] Having been involved in several first-team squads with West Ham, in January 2012 he moved on loan to League Two side, Burton Albion until 31 January 2012.[4] Driver made his debut for Burton on 6 January 2012 in a home game against Accrington Stanley, the match ended 2–0 to Accrington.[5][6] Driver scored his first goal for Burton on 14 February 2012 in a 3–2 away defeat to Crewe Alexandra.[7] After two months with Burton and without ever playing in a winning side, Driver returned to West Ham.[8] He made his official debut on 5 January 2014 for West Ham against Nottingham Forest at The City Ground in the FA Cup.[9] Driver was released by West Ham at the end of the 2013–14 season.[10]
After being released by West Ham, he signed for Conference South side Whitehawk and went on to make nine first-team appearances for the club before being released in October 2014.[11] On 11 November 2014 Driver signed a contract with Conference Premier side Dartford going straight into their squad on the same day for their league encounter with Welling United.[12] In May 2015, following the club's relegation from the Conference Premier, he joined newly promoted National League South side Maidstone United on a free transfer, rejecting a new deal with Dartford.[13]
