Career

Youth

Born in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, Eastwood joined Sheffield United's youth academy at the age of 10.[3] In his youth, he has spent time on loan with Sheffield,[4] Gainsborough Trinity and Mickleover Sports for first team experience.[5]

Sheffield United

In April 2016, Eastwood was one of four youth players to sign professional terms with Sheffield United.[6] He started the 2017–18 season as deputy to loanee Jamal Blackman, who himself was signed to cover for injured first team keeper Simon Moore.[5] On 9 August 2017, Eastwood made his senior first-team debut in the Football League Cup in a 3–2 home victory over Walsall at Bramall Lane.[7] He started again in the Blades' next tie in the League Cup which ended in a 4–1 home defeat to the visitors Leicester City of the Premier League, which knocked the Blades out of the competition.[8]

In November 2017, Eastwood signed a new long-term contract, committing to the Blades until 2020.[3] He then joined Chesterfield on an emergency loan.[9] Eastwood made his league debut for Sheffield United on 3 February 2018 against Wolverhampton Wanderers, replacing Simon Moore who was sent off in the 73rd minute.[10]

On 5 July 2019, Eastwood joined Scunthorpe United on a season-long loan deal.[11] After injuries to Sheffield United goalkeepers Simon Moore and Michael Verrips, he was recalled by his parent club in January 2020.[12] As a result, he was on the bench for their Premier League game against West Ham United.[13]

On 30 July 2020, Eastwood signed for Scottish Premiership club Kilmarnock on a six-month loan.[14] He made his debut on 1 August 2020, in Kilmarnock's opening game of the season, away to Hibernian, however he had to be substituted at half-time due to injury.[15] On 11 January 2021, he returned to Sheffield United after making two appearances in all competitions.[16]

On 1 February 2021, Eastwood joined League Two side Grimsby Town on loan for the remainder of the 2020–21 season.[17] Eastwood temporarily took over as first choice keeper having been favoured to regular James McKeown but an injury suffered in March limited him to 7 appearances.[18][19]

On 7 September 2021, Eastwood signed for League One side Portsmouth on a seven-day emergency loan in order to play in an EFL Trophy tie against AFC Wimbledon.[20] Portsmouth's first choice keeper Gavin Bazunu was on international duty with the Republic of Ireland, whilst his understudy Alex Bass was isolating due to COVID-19, Portsmouth lost the game 5–3.[21]

Eastwood returned to Scotland by joining Scottish Premiership side Ross County on loan for the 2022-23 season.[22] In January, Eastwood returned to Rochdale on loan until the end of the season having failed to make a league appearance in Scotland.[23]

Grimsby Town

On 4 July 2023, Eastwood returned to Grimsby Town signing a two-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[24]

On 13 August 2024, in his first EFL Cup appearance for Grimsby Town, Eastwood saved twice and scored in a penalty shoot out, as they defeated Bradford City 1–1 (9–8 on penalties) in the first round of the tournament.[25] In September 2024, Eastwood ruptured his patellar tendon after colliding with a goal post in a 3–2 victory over Carlisle United. Following surgery, he was ruled out for a period of six months.[26]
