Born in England to an English father and French mother, Green moved to France at the age of four.[2][3] After spending three years at ES Veauche, he joined youth academy of Saint-Étienne in 2009. He signed his first professional contract with the club in June 2020.[4] Green made his professional debut on 4 April 2021 in a 2–0 league win against Nîmes, keeping a clean sheet and saving a penalty.[5][6]

On 7 August 2024, Green signed for Championship side Burnley for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-year deal.[7]

International career

Born in England, Green has previously represented France at youth international level. On 24 May 2021, he received his first call-up to the France under-21 team for knockout stage of the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. He was initially not included in the squad, but was named as a replacement for Alban Lafont who had to pull out of the squad to play Ligue 1 relegation/promotion play-offs with his club Nantes.[8]

On 23 August 2021, it was reported that Green would switch his international allegiance to England,[9] and four days later he was included in Lee Carsley's first U21 squad.[10] On 11 October 2021, he made his U21 debut during a 1–0 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification win away to Andorra.[11]
