Jersey Bulls
Whilst still a teenager, Solomon scored fifteen goals in his first twenty games for the side telling BBC Sport in September 2020: "Playing for the Bulls is great for me personally because as a squad we demand so much from each other and you know you can't drop your performance around them."

Solomon kept playing for Jersey Bulls during the 2021-22 season, even after he enrolled at University in Liverpool, and would try and fly back to Jersey for games. He then switched his academic studies to Highlands College, Jersey, telling BBC Radio Jersey "I tried to play as many games as I could, like I was doing before when I was at university, but it was a bit hard flying back every weekend." Solomon achieved a degree of viral media attention for a goal he scored goal against Sutton Common Rovers in the FA Cup in 2021, which was described as a “mid-air back-heeled volley”.
