Lawton signed a scholarship deal with Crewe Alexandra's Academy in 2020.[2]

He made his Crewe debut on 13 March 2022 in an EFL League One game against Sunderland at Stadium of Light as a late substitute for Zac Williams.[3] He signed his first professional deal with the club at the end of the 2021–22 season.[4]

In August 2022, Lawton went on loan to Crewe's Cheshire neighbours, Nantwich Town, making his debut for the Dabbers in a Northern Premier League Premier Division tie at Warrington Town on 29 August 2022.[5] Due to injury, the initial one month's loan was extended by a further month in September,[6] and later extended to the end of the season.[7] In February 2023, Lawton was recalled to Crewe as part of a deal that saw Alex teammate Connor Evans join Nantwich on loan.[8]

In March 2023, Lawton joined National League North club Hereford on loan until the end of the season.[9] He was released by Crewe at the end of the season.[10]
