Career
editPeterborough United
editBorn in Falmouth, Cornwall, Day started his career at Peterborough United. After a brief loan spell at Crawley Town in the Conference National, he made his debut on 19 February 2005, appearing as a second-half substitute in a 0–2 home defeat to Doncaster Rovers[2] and, having established himself in the first team, scored his first goal for the club in a 4–1 win over Bury on 2 January 2006.[3]
He made 24 league appearances the following season,[4] and was ever-present throughout the 2007-08 season as his team won promotion to League One,[5] but was hampered by injury in 2008-09, playing only five times in a season in which Peterborough earned their second successive promotion.[6]
In the Championship, in contrast to his club's fortunes, Day started well, starting two matches and making two further substitute appearances in September and October 2009,[7] before being sent out on loan to Dagenham & Redbridge in League Two, where he made eight appearances; upon his return, he played once more for Peterborough, in a 0–4 defeat to Scunthorpe United on 23 March 2010.
Rushden & Diamonds
editIn June 2010, Day left Peterborough to join Rushden & Diamonds in the Conference Premier.[8] He was a regular in the first-team, making 38 league appearances, but after the club was expelled from the league and folded in 2011, he returned to Crawley Town, who by this time had earned promotion to the Football League.[9]
Crawley Town and Aldershot Town
editAt Crawley, Day was again set back by injury, and did not register an appearance - either on the pitch or on the substitutes' bench - for the club. In November 2011, he was loaned out to Aldershot Town until January 2012; he was an unused substitute for two league matches, but did not play.
Retirement
editOn 8 August 2012, Day announced his immediate retirement from football due to an ongoing back problem.[10]
