*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Long started his football career at Charlton Athletic in 1995 and progressed through the youth system, spending ten years on the club's books, and although a regular in the reserve team, he did not make a first-team appearance. Before the start of the 2005–06 season, Long joined Notts County after being released from Charlton. He spent one season at the club, before moving into non-league with Ebbsfleet United in July 2006. He played over 135 games for the club, helping them to FA Trophy success in May 2008.
He joined Stevenage in June 2009, and helped the club earn back-to-back promotions from the Conference Premier to League One during his time there. After three years at Stevenage, Long signed for AFC Wimbledon of League Two on a free transfer in June 2012. He was released by Wimbledon a year later, and subsequently re-joined one of his former clubs, Ebbsfleet United, ahead of the 2013–14 season. During his one season back at Ebbsfleet, Long spent time on loan at Eastbourne Borough. He ended his playing career with Leatherhead of the Isthmian League Premier Division, before taking up a coaching role at Ebbsfleet in October 2015, a position he held until November 2018. Long represented England at various youth levels, as well as earning one cap for the England C team in 2008.
