Born in Westminster, London,[1] Armitage played at Brixham and earned a scholarship to Wellington College before joining the London Irish Academy.[2] He made his debut against Sale Sharks on 5 November 2010 becoming the third Armitage brother to play for the club after Delon and Steffon.[3] He then spent time on loan at Championship sides London Welsh and London Scottish during the 2010–11 and 2011–12 seasons, making a total of six appearances and scoring one try.[4]
He also made eight appearances for Welsh during 2011–12 but decided to join French side Toulon at the end of the season.[5] Less than six months after leaving, he returned to London Irish on loan for the rest of the season having not made any appearances in France.[6] He played 21 times upon his return and in February 2013 re-signed with the club until 2015.[7] Before returning to London Welsh in 2015.[8] It was announced on 15 March 2016 that Armitage will join Premiership side Wasps next season.[9]
