Born on 5 October 2004, he came through the academy at Preston North End, joining as a youngster and making his senior debut in a 4-1 EFL Cup win over Huddersfield Town in August 2022. Brighton signed him from Preston in July 2023, and he progressed through their under-21 setup, twice named an unused Premier League substitute during the 2024/25 campaign. To gain senior experience, the 21-year-old spent the 2025/26 season on loan at League Two club Harrogate Town, where he featured regularly and chipped in with goals and assists from defence. A technically assured and versatile full-back, Slater is contracted to Brighton until June 2026 on reported weekly wages of around £600, reflecting his status as a developing academy graduate.
