Early career
Born in Jersey,[3] Guthrie began playing local football with St. Clement Sports Club from the age of eight.[4] He broke into the first-team in 2009, before transferring to Trinity in 2011.[4]
Accrington Stanley
After one season with Trinity, Accrington Stanley took Guthrie on a two-week trial, where he scored against Premier League side Blackburn Rovers in his first pre-season friendly appearance for the club. He signed a one-year contract with the League Two side with the option of a further year on 19 July 2011.[5]
He was handed his professional debut on the opening day of the 2011–12 season in a 0–0 away draw at Northampton Town on 6 August.[6]
In November 2011, Guthrie was sent out on loan to Conference Premier side Southport until January 2012 in order to get more match experience.[7] He made five appearances for Southport, scoring one goal before returning to Accrington.[8]
After failing to establish himself in the Accrington first-team, Guthrie was released alongside three other players at the end of the season.[9]
Bath City
Guthrie signed a short-term deal with Conference South side Bath City on 16 August 2012.[10] He made his club debut on 18 August as a substitute in their 1–1 away draw against Welling United,[11] before scoring a hat-trick on his home debut three days later in a 3–1 win over Maidenhead United.[12]
Guthrie made 13 appearances in all competitions, scoring six goals before leaving the club after his short-term deal expired in October 2012.[13]
Welling United
Having previously been on trial with the club in the summer of 2012 following his release by Accrington, Welling United signed Guthrie after he left Bath City.[14] He scored his first goals for Welling in April 2013, a hat-trick against Weston-super-Mare, going on to tally eight goals in two seasons and amassing 61 appearances and helping the club to the Conference South title in his first season.[14]

Forest Green Rovers signed Guthrie for an undisclosed fee from Welling in May 2014.[14] He signed a two-year deal with Welling's Conference Premier rivals.[15] He made his debut for the club as a substitute in a 2–1 win against Chester on 12 August 2014.[16] His first start came on 11 October as he played the full 90-minutes for Forest Green in a 1–1 draw with Gateshead.[17] He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–3 away draw against Torquay United on 15 November, before scoring his second of the match and the final goal of the game.[18] He helped his side reach the Conference play-offs for the first time at the end of the 2014–15 season, appearing in the semi-final matches against Bristol Rovers where Forest Green bowed out 3–0 on aggregate.[19] He had scored eight goals in 42 appearances in his first season for Forest Green.[20]
Guthrie scored eleven goals in 45 appearances in his second season with the club as they reached the 2016 National League play-off Final at Wembley Stadium.[21] He played for 77-minutes of the final, which Forest Green lost 3–1 to Grimsby Town on 15 May 2016.[22]
