Career Early career Having been on the books of Hemel Hempstead Town as a youth player, Calcutt began his senior career with Berkhamsted, where he quickly gained a reputation as an exciting prospect, producing a 2013-14 tally of 41 goals from 52 appearances in all competitions. In the second half of that season, he joined St. Albans City as a dual-registration player, but only turned out for the side on one occasion. Towards the end of the season, he had a trial with Millwall.
Stevenage Calcutt joined League Two club Stevenage on trial terms ahead of the 2014–15 season before signing a professional contract with Stevenage on 9 August, making his Football League debut that same day as a late substitute at home to Hartlepool United. Stevenage won the game 1–0. Calcutt's first professional goal came in only his second League appearance away at Plymouth Argyle in a 1–1 draw, where he came on at half time for the injured Darius Charles. Calcutt moved on a month's loan to Conference South side Wealdstone on 24 October 2014. He scored a brace on his debut for Wealdstone the following day in a 6–0 Middlesex Senior Cup win over Hampton & Richmond Borough. However, the striker suffered a leg break in their 2–0 win at Chelmsford City on 18 November 2014, ruling him out for what was initially estimated to be three months, but later thought to be eight to ten months. He was released by Stevenage at the end of the season.
Non-league football In the summer of 2015, Calcutt returned to Wealdstone on a permanent basis. In October 2015 he signed on dual-registration at Southern Football League side Dunstable Town.
