Club career
Airey joined the Newcastle United Academy at age 10[4] and made his reserve team debut on 18 November 2008 against Everton as a right back.[4] Airey made his first team debut on 8 January 2011 as a second-half substitute in a 3–1 defeat against Stevenage in the FA Cup.[2] He won the Golden Boot in the Premier Reserve League North with 11 goals.[5] Airey signed on loan for Scottish Premier League club Hibernian in August 2011.[6] He made just one substitute appearance before returning to Newcastle a month later.[7] On 20 January 2012, Airey signed for Conference National side Gateshead on a one-month loan.[8] He made his debut the following day as a 79th-minute substitute in Gateshead's 3–3 draw with Lincoln City. Airey was released by Newcastle United on 1 June 2012.[9]
He then joined Blyth Spartans in August 2012. He started out at the club as a striker but moved to right-back to accommodate for the loss of Shaun Utterson. Airey had a number of trials at full-time clubs over the 2012–13 season, but failed to secure a deal. On 18 November 2013, Airey joined Northern League side Whitley Bay on a month loan,[10] making a goal-scoring debut the following day in a 7–3 win against Alnwick Town in the Northumberland Senior Cup.[11] Airey now plays for local club Red Row Welfare Fc.
