Club career

Notts County

Born in Nottingham, England, Tempest started his career at Notts County when he was sixteen[2] and was featured in the club's first team during pre-season.[3] He signed his first professional contract with the club the following year.[4] Ahead of the 2012–13 season, Tempest was given number twenty-five shirt.[5]

On 9 November 2012, Tempest joined Ilkeston on a month loan[6] and made his debut against United of Manchester.[7] He returned to his parent club after a stint at Ilkeston despite keen of extension.[8] [9]

Upon his return, Tempest made his debut against Scunthorpe United coming on as an 82nd-minute substitute.[10] After making three appearances in his first season, he was offered a new contract by the club,[11] which he signed a two-year contract weeks after being offered.[12]

The 2013–14 season saw Tempest make fourteen appearances for the club under the management of Chris Kiwomya and Shaun Derry.[13] During the season, he provided two assists: one was against Crewe Alexandra, in a 4–0 win on 5 October 2013[14] and another was against Oldham Athletic on 29 October 2013.[15]

On 26 September 2014, Tempest joined Boston United on loan for a month.[16] He then had his loan at Boston United extended until 27 December 2014.[17] He made his return to his parent club after making fourteen appearances and scoring once against Lowestoft Town for Boston United.[18] [19] Shortly after, Tempest re-joined Boston United for the second time, until the end of the season.[20]

After five years at Notts County, Tempest was released by the club.[21]

Lincoln City

Tempest joined Lincoln City on a one-year contract on 14 May 2015.[22]

Later career

After being released by Lincoln City, Tempest joined Nuneaton Town. On 10 March 2017 he joined Gainsborough Trinity on loan until the end of the 16/17 season. He was released by Nuneaton in May 2017.[23]

After missing the following season through injury,[24] Tempest joined Basford United in August 2018.[25] He signed for Matlock Town on 9 January 2019.[26]

On 23 May 2019, Tempest signed for Grantham Town,[27] before taking a break from the game for personal reasons.

In 2020, Tempest signed for Gedling Miners Welfare.[28]

On 17 June 2022, Tempest joined Belper Town.[29]

In May 2023, Tempest signed for Carlton Town.[30] [31]
