Matt began his career with Harlow Town as a 15 year old, making 11 appearances for the Southern League Division One East club. He moved on to Erith & Belvedere before helping Isthmian Division One North side Aveley to promotion to the Premier Division for the first time in their history during the 2008/2009 season. The following season, they made the play-offs, narrowly losing to Boreham Wood. Manager Justin Edinburgh brought the tall strong midfielder to Nene Park on 9 June 2010, and he made his debut as a substitute in the opening game of the season, at home to Fleetwood Town.
He went on to play in all but two of the Conference games during the season. With the uncertainty about the future of the club, he was allowed to leave at the end of the season, and joined Conference South side Dover Athletic on 7 June 2011. Matt failed to gain a regular place in the side however, and was released by mutual consent in mid September, joining Conference newcomers Braintree Town on 23 September 2011. On 19 January 2012, Matt joined Conference North side Bishop’s Stortford. He spent the following two seasons with the Bishops, becoming captain and winning Player of the Year awards before signing for Conference South side Ebbsfleet United on 30 May 3014. He left Ebbsfleet after 3 years to join Chelmsford City ahead of the 2017-18 season. In March 2018 he joined Enfield Town. He moved to AFC Hornchurch ahead of the 2019-20 season, but left there in October 2020, prior to returning to Braintree Town.
