Career

Eames joined the Academy of Watford at under-8s level. Despite being released in 2020 at under-14s, he was invited back to the club on a trial, re-signing terms with the club.[2] In July 2022, he was signed a scholarship deal.[3]

In March 2024, following the appointment of under-18s manager Tom Cleverley as first-team head coach, Eames was promoted to training with the first-team squad.[2] In April 2024, he signed a three-year professional contract, whilst also impressing for the under-21s squad.[4][5] On 4 May 2024, the final day of the 2023–24 season, he made his first-team debut as a last-minute substitute in a 3–1 defeat to Middlesbrough.[6][7]
