Career[]
Born in Preston,[2] Anderton began his career at Preston North End, moving on loan to Chorley in March 2014 alongside Alex Nicholson.[3] He turned professional in May 2014, at the same time as Jack Ryan.[4] He joined Gateshead on loan in October 2014,[5] and Barrow in December 2014,[6] although the latter loan ended early due to injury.[7] He moved on loan to Aldershot Town in August 2015,[8] before returning to Barrow on loan in November 2015.[6][9] He signed permanently for Barrow in May 2016, signing a two-year contract.[6][10] In January 2017 he was linked with a transfer to Bradford City, amongst purported interest from other Football League clubs.[11] He signed for Blackpool in June 2017.[12] He moved on loan to Accrington Stanley in August 2018.[13]
Anderton signed an eighteen-month contract with Carlisle United on 16 January 2020.[14] Ahead of the 2020–21 season, Anderton was appointed as club captain.[15]
Bristol Rovers[]
On 26 May 2021, Anderton signed a two-year contract with recently relegated League Two side Bristol Rovers, with effect from 1 July 2021.[16][17] Anderton made his debut for the club on the opening day of the season, starting as a central defender as Rovers' return to League Two started with a late defeat at Mansfield Town.[18] On 30 October 2021, Anderton opened his account for the club when he scored the only goal as Rovers got an impressive away win at high-flying Harrogate Town with his scuffed effort in the 64th minute settling the match.[19]
