Career
Rigg began his senior career with Northern League club Penrith. Rigg had previously represented Keswick at youth level. Whilst at Penrith, Rigg was employed as a forester at the National Trust.
In July 2014, Rigg signed for League Two club Carlisle United on a one-year professional contract. Rigg signed after a two-week trial period. He debuted in the Football League on 4 October 2014 and also scored in a 3–0 win over Hartlepool United. On 13 November 2014, Rigg signed a new one-year deal keeping him at the club until the summer of 2016.
On 26 November 2015, Rigg signed for National League Premier club Barrow until January 2016. Rigg was stretchered off on his debut for Barrow, after coming on as a substitute. Rigg suffered ligament damage which was detected after his injured ankle was x-rayed at Kendal Hospital and his loan spell was subsequently cut short.
