Benjamin Paul Worman (born 30 August 2001) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for club Gateshead.
He became the youngest player to play for Cambridge United after making his first-team debut in November 2017.
Worman came through the youth-team at Cambridge United and made his first-team debut in an EFL Trophy match on 7 November 2017, coming on as an 83rd-minute substitute for Uche Ikpeazu in a 2–0 defeat by Peterborough United at the Abbey Stadium. At the age of 16, this made him the youngest ever player to take part in a competitive match for the "U's"; manager Shaun Derry said that it was a "fantastic" experience for the youngster.[2] In September 2018, following the signing of a three-year professional contract, Worman joined St Neots Town on loan.[3]
On 18 January 2019, Worman joined Bishop's Stortford on a one-month loan deal.[4] The deal was later extended first for a month, and later until the end of the season.[5]
On 21 November 2019, Worman signed for National League South club Chelmsford City on an initial one-month loan deal.[6]
He scored his first goal for Cambridge United on 10 November 2020 in an EFL Trophy group game against Peterborough United.[7]
On 3 August 2023, Worman signed for League of Ireland Premier Division side Cork City.[8]
On 9 January 2024, Worman signed for National League club Gateshead on a short-term contract until the end of the season with the option for a one-year extension.[9]
