Career

Gillingham

List began his career in the Crystal Palace youth academy.[3] He was released from the Palace youth set-up at the end of the 2014–15 season.[3] He subsequently went on trial with Gillingham and played in a number of development matches, ultimately earning a one-year professional contract with the club in May 2015.[3] Having made no appearances for the first-team during the opening months of the 2015–16 season,[4] List was loaned to National League club Braintree Town in October 2015.[5] He made his debut for Braintree in a 2–0 win over Harlow Town in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round.[5] Both of List's appearances during the brief one-month loan agreement for Braintree came in the FA Cup.[6]

On his return to his parent club, List made his first-team debut on 26 December 2015,[4] coming on as a substitute in a victory over Swindon Town at the County Ground.[7] He went on to make six first-team appearances for Gillingham in League One throughout the remainder of the campaign, all of which from the substitute's bench.[4] List signed a further one-year contract extension with Gillingham in June 2016.[8] List featured predominantly as a substitute during the 2016–17 season, making 19 appearances in all competitions, of which 14 were as a substitute.[9] He remained at Gillingham for the 2017–18 campaign, playing 28 times during a season that saw Gillingham finish in 17th place in League One.[10][11] The season also marked his first professional goal as he came on as a second-half substitute to score a stoppage-time equaliser in a 1–1 draw away at Bristol Rovers on 28 April 2018.[10][12] The following week, the club's final match of the season, List once again came on as a substitute to score, this time in a 5–2 home victory over Plymouth Argyle.[10][13] He signed a two-year contract extension with Gillingham in May 2018.[14]

The 2018–19 season would ultimately serve as a breakthrough campaign for List in terms of number of starting appearances, as well as seeing an increase in his goalscoring output from midfield.[15] He scored his first goal of the season courtesy of a "stunning solo goal" in a 1–1 draw against Coventry City on 25 August 2018.[16] List scored the only goal of the game as Gillingham secured a 1–0 home victory over Premier League club Cardiff City in the FA Cup third round on 5 January 2019.[17] He scored eight times during the season, playing 45 matches in all competitions as Gillingham finished the season in mid-table in League One.[15][18]

Stevenage

List signed for League Two club Stevenage on 31 August 2019.[19] He joined the club for an undisclosed fee.[19] List made his Stevenage debut on the same day his signing was announced, playing the first 63 minutes in a 2–2 draw at home to Macclesfield Town.[20]
