Career

Early career

Having been on the books of Hemel Hempstead Town as a youth player, Calcutt began his senior career with Berkhamsted, where he quickly gained a reputation as an exciting prospect, producing a 2013-14 tally of 41 goals from 52 appearances in all competitions. In the second half of that season, he joined St. Albans City as a dual-registration player, but only turned out for the side on one occasion. Towards the end of the season, he had a trial with Millwall.

Stevenage

Calcutt joined League Two club Stevenage on trial terms ahead of the 2014–15 season before signing a professional contract with Stevenage on 9 August,[3] making his Football League debut that same day as a late substitute at home to Hartlepool United.[4] Stevenage won the game 1–0.[4] Calcutt's first professional goal came in only his second League appearance away at Plymouth Argyle in a 1–1 draw, where he came on at half time for the injured Darius Charles.[5] Calcutt moved on a month's loan to Conference South side Wealdstone on 24 October 2014.[6] He scored a brace on his debut for Wealdstone the following day in a 6–0 Middlesex Senior Cup win over Hampton & Richmond Borough.[7] However, the striker suffered a leg break in their 2–0 win at Chelmsford City on 18 November 2014, ruling him out for what was initially estimated to be three months,[8] but later thought to be eight to ten months.[9] He was released by Stevenage at the end of the season.[10]

Non-league football

In the summer of 2015, Calcutt returned to Wealdstone on a permanent basis.[2] In October 2015 he signed on dual-registration at Southern Football League side Dunstable Town.[11] After scoring 10 in 29 appearances at Dunstable Town, Calcutt signed for newly promoted Southern League Premier Division side Kings Langley in June 2016.[12][13] However, Calcutt would begin the new season with Barton Rovers.[12] He scored 28 goals in 33 league matches[12] but left the club in summer 2017 to join Farnborough.[14][15] He signed for Hendon for an undisclosed fee in October 2018.[16]

At the end of November 2019, Calcutt moved to Bedford Town.[17] During 2020, Calcutt also played for Eynesbury Rovers on a dual registration.[12][18] Calcutt signed for Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division side Leighton Town in summer 2020.[19]
