Club career

Aston Villa

Green joined Aston Villa at the age of nine and progressed through the club's academy. He made his club and Premier League debut on 13 March 2016, coming off the bench for Jordan Veretout in a 2–0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur. In doing so, he became the fifth youngest player to ever represent the club, behind only Jimmy Brown, Rushian Hepburn-Murphy, Gareth Barry and Jonathan Bewers.

Following Aston Villa's relegation the season before, Green was linked with a move to a host of Premier League clubs but opted to sign a new three-year contract with Aston Villa in August 2016. Green made his first league start for the club at home against Preston in January 2017. He scored his first goal for Aston Villa in a 4-2 win against Norwich City on 19 August 2017.

Loan to Portsmouth

After struggling with an injury that kept him out of much of the 2017–18 season, Green found it difficult to get into the Aston Villa first team, and on 29 August 2018, he signed for Portsmouth on a season-long loan, dropping down a division to League 1. He scored his first of 2 total goals for Portsmouth in an EFL Trophy tie against Tottenham Hotspur Under 23s on 13 November 2018.{{cite news On 17 January 2019, Green was recalled from his loan spell.

Return to Aston Villa

In January 2019, Green was recalled to Aston Villa. Portsmouth manager Kenny Jackett said that he believed that new Villa coach Dean Smith wanted to increase the quota of homegrown players in the squad. His first appearance back was against Hull City in a 2–2 draw. Green scored the third goal in a comeback against Sheffield United at Villa Park, Sheffield United had a 3–0 lead with 8 minutes, plus injury time remaining – before Villa scored three goals in quick succession with Green scoring in injury time.
