Button was, unusually for a goalkeeper, handed the squad number 6 and made his debut for the club in the 3–0 home victory against Bradford City on 18 April.

He made two more appearances before returning to Tottenham.

An injury to second-choice goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes saw Button receive his first call-up to senior team substitutes' bench early in the 2009–10 season for a 2–1 Premier League win over West Ham United on 23 August 2009.

Button made his debut in the following game, replacing Carlo Cudicini after 81 minutes of a 5–1 League Cup victory over Championship side Doncaster Rovers.

Button joined League One side Leyton Orient on 26 August 2011, on a loan running until 7 January 2012.

He made only two appearances before suffering a shoulder injury which kept him out until Boxing Day.
