On 19 September 2015, Bassett made his Football League debut for Yeovil Town in a 1–0 victory against Crawley Town,[5] at the age of just 17 years, 6 months and 13 days he broke the record for the youngest Yeovil player in the Football League.[6] On 3 December 2015, Bassett was awarded his first professional contract with Yeovil Town, committing him to the club until June 2017.[7]
On 13 September 2016, Bassett joined Southern League Premier Division side Dorchester Town on an initial one-month loan deal.[8] Bassett made his debut the following day as a second-half substitute in Dorchester's 4–0 victory against Frome Town, with Bassett providing the assist for the fourth goal.[9] Having made four appearances in his first loan spell with Dorchester, Bassett returned on loan to the Southern League club on 28 October 2016.[10]
On 3 February 2017, Bassett joined Dorchester for a third loan spell.[11]
At the end of the 2016–17 season, Bassett was released by Yeovil having only made two appearances for the club.[12]
