He has previously played for Hull City with loan spells for Chesterfield, Carlisle United, Dundee United and Scunthorpe United, as well as having a previous loan spell at Grimsby Town.

Career

Townsend came through the youth ranks at Hull City after joining the club at the age of eight[4] and was promoted to the club's first team during the 2011–12 season. He joined Grimsby Town on loan on 25 October 2011, initially for one month.[5] He made his debut on 29 October, playing in a 5–0 win against Ashington in the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup, and was named man-of-the-match.[6] He made his league debut on 5 November, playing the full 90 minutes of a 2–2 draw against Bath City.[7] After making 5 appearances, his loan was extended by a further month.[8] On 29 December, the loan was extended until the end of the season.[9] At the end of the 2011–12 season Townsend was awarded the club's "Supporters Young Player of the Season" award.[10]

On 20 November 2012, he joined Chesterfield on a month-long loan.[11] He made his debut on 15 December, replacing Jay O'Shea after 85 minutes of a 1–1 draw at home to Burton Albion.[12] On 29 December, he scored his first goal for Chesterfield and was then sent off later in the game, during a 1–1 draw against Morecambe.[13] The loan was eventually extended to the end of the season.[14] On 29 April, his loan deal ended and he returned to Hull City.[15]

Townsend's breakthrough of sorts, at the start of the 2013/2014 season, occurred when he made his Hull City debut on 27 August 2013, coming on as 55th-minute substitute in a League Cup game against Leyton Orient.[16] Following this, Townsend moved on a month-long loan to Carlisle United on 2 September 2013.[17] The loan was extended for two months on 26 September 2013.[18]

Townsend moved to Dundee United on loan in July 2014.[19] He made his debut on 10 August 2014, as Dundee United beat Aberdeen 3–0 in the opening game of the 2014–15 season.[20] Following transfer deadline day moves he returned to Hull City early on 3 February 2015.[21] On 28 February 2015 Townsend joined Scunthorpe United on a month-long loan,[22] which was later extended to the end of the season.[23]

Having signed a one-year contract extension with Hull in June 2015,[24] Townsend was again loaned to Grimsby Town, joining for one month on 12 October 2015.[25] This was later extended until 1 January 2016.[26] On 6 January 2016 Townsend signed for Scunthorpe United on a free transfer.[27]
