Career
Layne began his career as a youth with Football League side Brentford, but was released and signed for Isthmian League Premier Division team Billericay Town in October 2013, scoring two goals on his debut.[1] In the summer of 2014, he trialled with Charlton Athletic and played a friendly match against Essex neighbours Southend United, which inspired their manager Phil Brown to sign him on a one-year deal on 4 August.[2] Layne was only included in the matchday squads for two Southend games: a 2–0 home win over Stevenage twelve days after signing,[3] and a 1–0 victory against Hartlepool United at Roots Hall on 15 November.[4]
On 27 November, he joined Conference South team Hayes & Yeading United on a month-long loan.[5] He scored once in five appearances for the team, in a 2–1 home win over Chelmsford City on 20 December.[6]
Layne moved to Scottish Championship club Alloa Athletic on 25 January 2015, on a free transfer.[7] He made his debut six days later, replacing Graeme Holmes in the 60th minute of an eventual 1–4 home defeat to Heart of Midlothian.[8] On 5 April, he was a 69th-minute substitute for Michael Chopra in the 2015 Scottish Challenge Cup Final, a 4–0 loss to Livingston at McDiarmid Park in Perth.[9] In November 2015, Layne signed on temporary loan with Scottish League One side Brechin City,[10] scoring his first goal in a 4–0 draw with Ayr United.[11] After impressing manager Darren Dods with his performances, Layne's loan was initially extended until the end of the season,[12] however he was recalled shortly after this agreement was put in place in order to help cover injuries sustained to the Alloa squad.
