Newcastle
Guy started his career at Newcastle United and appeared for them once in the UEFA Cup.
Doncaster
Guy joined Doncaster Rovers on loan during the 2004–05 season. Having impressed during his brief loan spell, scoring three goals in nine appearances, Guy signed a permanent deal with Dave Penney's side prior to the start of the 2005–06 season.
Despite only scoring three goals in 31 league appearances throughout the 2005–06 season, Guy's pace and dribbling ability made him a handful for any defence, which helped him form an effective striking partnership with Paul Heffernan during the first half of the season.
The 2007–08 season seemed to bring a change to Guy's play, as he started to weigh in with vital goals and impressive performances, finishing the season with 8 goals in all competitions, his best in a season to date. Despite scoring the winning goal in the opening game of the 2008–09 season against Derby County and the opening goal in the following match against Cardiff City, he struggled to continue his positive start to the season and failed to score another goal for Doncaster. In early 2009, Guy spent a month's loan spell at Hartlepool United, but he struggled to make an impact at Victoria Park, and was sent back to Doncaster after he picked up an injury.
