Hailing from Belfast, the central-midfielder joined the Academy’s Under-18 squad having previously captained the Northern Ireland side at Under-16 level.
Austin made his professional debut for Linfield in November 2021 against PSNI in the Northern Ireland Football League Cup.
In his first season in red and blue, Austin made 20 appearances in all competitions for Rob Quinn's U18s side, scoring two penalites - one of which came in a 2-2 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion.
The youngster made his first appearance for the Under-21s in September 2023, coming on as a late substitute in the 1-1 draw against Athletic Club in the Premier League International Cup.
That proved to be Austin's sole appearance at U21s level in 23/24, due to a campaign broken up by injury. He finished the season with 18 appearances in total (17 for the U18s) and one assist against Tottenham Hotspur U18s in a 5-2 victory.
In August 2024, Austin signed his first professional contract with the club.
