editPollock began his career with Northampton Town, featuring in the club's youth Football & Education Programme having joined as an under-14.[3][4] In 2017, Pollock began playing for the then Sunday League team Hashtag United after winning their nationwide academy competition in May.[5] He subsequently appeared at the EE Wembley Cup later that year, a competition in which he won man of the match and was subsequently handed a trial at Crystal Palace. They didn't sign Pollock though, stating he was "too slight".[4]

On 22 October 2019, Pollock netted his first goal in a 2–0 away win over Carlisle United; scoring in the 51st minute.[2]
On 26 February 2022, Pollock joined National League North side Boston United on a one-month loan deal.[14] He made his debut that day and opened the scoring just ten minutes in as his side defeated Kettering Town 3–2.[15] He was recalled in March 2022.[16]
In June 2022, following his release from Northampton Town, Pollock joined Boston United on a permanent basis.[17]
