Bray Wanderers Webster came through
Bray Wanderers youth setup and signed a contract with
Eddie Gormley's first team squad in February 2008 whilst still playing for the reserve side in the
A Championship. His first senior appearance for the club came on 5 May 2008 when he came on as a substitute for
Paddy Kavanagh with 9 minutes left of a 1–0 win over
Shamrock Rovers at the
Carlisle Grounds in the
League Cup. His only other appearance that season came on 16 July 2008 when he started in a friendly against
English League One side
Millwall, in a 1–0 loss for Wanderers. The
2009 season proved to be Webster's breakthrough season in senior football as he became an established regular at centre back for Bray. The first goal of his career came on 14 August 2009 when he scored in a 2–0 win over
Tralee Dynamos in the
FAI Cup. Webster's first
League of Ireland goal came on 19 September 2009 when he opened the scoring in the 16th minute in a vital league game against
Shamrock Rovers at
Tallaght Stadium as his side fought to fight off relegation. Bray ended the season bottom of the table and lost out to
Sporting Fingal in the final of the promotion/relegation playoffs meaning they would be relegated to the
League of Ireland First Division however they kept their top flight status as
Cork City and
Derry City were both expelled from the
League of Ireland Premier Division for financial reasons. It was a mixed season for Webster and Bray in
2010 as they were runners up in the
Leinster Senior Cup but again struggled to fight off relegation, taking them right up until the Promotion Relegation Playoff final as they beat
Monaghan United 7–6 on penalties to defy all odds and stay up once again. During the season he also had the opportunity to play against top sides like
Middlesbrough and
Villarreal, featuring some members of the
2010 World Cup winning
Spain side. Webster only managed 19 appearances the following season in
2011 which was not helped by injuries but it was a successful season for the team as they finished in a respectable 6th place earning 51 points and qualifying for the following season's
Setanta Sports Cup. The club's stay in the
2012 Setanta Sports Cup was short lived however as they were knocked out by
Glentoran at the first hurdle with Webster featuring in both games. Webster featured in 27 games over the course of the season as his side once again stayed out of the Playoffs as they finished a comfortable 5 points ahead of
Dundalk. Two more seasons of relegation battles followed for Webster and Bray as they beat
Longford Town in the final of the
2013 Playoffs, before avoiding the playoffs in 2014 by a single point ahead of
UCD.
Shamrock Rovers It was announced on 26 November 2014 that Webster had been signed by
Shamrock Rovers manager
Pat Fenlon on a two-year contract, alongside Gavin Brennan,
Barry Murphy and Craig Hyland. Webster was a mainstay in defence for Rovers in his first season as he featured in 30 games in all competitions, including all 4
UEFA Europa League games against
Progrès Niederkorn of
Luxembourg (in which he scored in the home leg) and
Odds BK of Norway. The
2016 season was a poor one for Webster and Rovers as they were embarrassing beaten 5–0 at home in the
FAI Cup Quarter Final, knocked out at the first hurdle of the
UEFA Europa League to
RoPS of Finland (Webster playing in neither leg) and in the league they finished 4th, a massive 22 points off champions
Dundalk. The poor form in the previous season resulted in
Pat Fenlon being sacked by the club but his replacement
Stephen Bradley offered Webster a new contract which he signed on 29 November 2016. Bradley showed a lot of faith in Webster over the season, playing him a total of 39 times across all competitions including all 4
UEFA Europa League games as the Hoops knocked out
Iceland's
Stjarnan before being beaten twice by
FK Mladá Boleslav of the
Czech Republic, in a season which they finished in 3rd place in the league as well as being runners up in the
2017 League of Ireland Cup to
Dundalk, who also knocked them out of the
FAI Cup, after a Semi-final replay at
Tallaght Stadium. On 14 November 2017 it was announced that Rovers would not be offering Webster or
Ryan Connolly a new contract for 2018.
Waterford After 95 appearances for Rovers in all competitions, Webster signed for newly promoted
Waterford under manager
Alan Reynolds on 29 November 2017. Webster played a total of 31 times for the Blues as they finished in 4th place, securing a
UEFA Europa League place for the following season as they finished 9 points ahead of nearest challengers
St Patrick's Athletic.
St Patrick's Athletic On 14 November 2018, it was announced that had signed for
Dublin club
St Patrick's Athletic, becoming new manager
Harry Kenny's second signing. Upon signing, Webster sited one of his reasons for joining the Saints being that he was at a stage of his career in which he wanted to win medals. He made his debut for the club in a 1–0 win over
Cork City on 15 February 2019, the opening night of the season. During the season, it was announced that Pat's would be playing
UEFA Europa League football at the expense of his old club
Waterford after they failed to meet
UEFA's '3 year rule'.
Finn Harps Webster was announced as having signed for
Finn Harps on a one-year deal on 28 December 2019.

Bray Wanderers after 8 years away from the club. On 8 February 2023, Webster was named as
club captain for the upcoming season.

League of Ireland Premier Division, signing for
Drogheda United after impressing on a month long trial period. Webster made 27 appearances in all competitions for the club over the season, including the
