After beginning his career with the academy of Middlesbrough, Langstaff signed for Wearside Football League club Stockton Town in 2014, joining their first team as they won the Shipowners' Cup for the first time.[4] He moved to Billingham Synthonia in 2015.[4] After scoring 31 in goals in 46 games, he was signed by Gateshead in February 2017.[5] He made five appearances before being loaned back to Billingham and to Blyth Spartans.[6] He moved to York City in 2018.

In 2020 he returned to Gateshead for another two seasons. In his first season, he scored four goals in 16 appearances. In the 2021–22 season, he scored 32 goals across all competitions, leading the league, and was named Player of the Season. Gateshead earned promotion to the National League that season.[7]

In 2022, Langstaff joined Notts County on a three-year contract, with a £50,000 transfer fee. In October, he became the first player to win back-to-back National League Player of the month awards.[6] By mid-October he had scored 15 goals in 13 games and was being compared to Erling Haaland, as they vied to be the top scorer in the top five leagues.[5][8][9] By the end of March 2023 he had scored 40 goals in 40 league games, none of them penalties.[10][11] This set a new Notts County club record for league goals in a season.[12]
