Easton started his career at Watford; making nearly 80 appearances in seven years at the club. During this time he represented England at under-20 level twice during the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship. He moved to Norwich City in June 2001 for a fee that had the potential of being £100,000. Easton played for Norwich in the 2002 Division One play-off final, scoring a penalty in the shoot-out (which Norwich lost 4–2) after the match had ended 1–1. He played in just over 50 matches for the Canaries before being released in the summer of 2004 following the club's promotion to the Premier League.
Easton was signed by Wycombe manager Tony Adams in July 2004 and played regularly in the left midfield position. However, with the arrival of John Gorman as manager in November 2004, he was more regularly used in a left full back position. Despite this, Easton still managed to score three goals in the 2005–06 season.
On 29 June 2006, it was announced that Easton had signed a one year contract with Gillingham, with the option of a further year.
He made his debut for Gillingham in a 2–1 League Cup defeat away to Millwall on 22 August and scored his first goal in a 2–1 home win on 12 September, also against Millwall.[2] On 8 May, Gillingham announced they had released Easton.
On 19 July 2007 he signed for Hereford United, going on to score in his second game. He added a further two goals as Hereford gained promotion to League One. He did not feature for the Bulls at all in 2009, and was released by mutual consent on 3 April 2009.
Easton signed on with Ebbsfleet United on 23 October 2009.
In 1997 Easton was capped twice by the England U20 national team.
