On 18 December 2012, he was called up for the first time by Maidstone United, remaining an unused substitute in their 1–2 defeat away to Football Club Halifax Town in the FA Trophy second round at The Shay. In Maidstone"s youth ranks, Pavey scored over 300 goals in three years, including 124 in his final season before on 22 May 2013 joining Millwall on a two-year academy scholarship. He was included in the squad for one match in that Championship campaign, called up by interim manager Neil Harris for their 1–3 home defeat to Leicester City at The New Den on 1 January 2014.
On 26 September 2014, Pavey joined Conference leaders Barnet on a month-long loan, saying "lieutenant should be a great experience for me playing against bigger, stronger players and working on my hold-up play".
He made two further appearances for Barnet, both again as a substitute. Millwall ended the 2014-2015 Championship season with relegation to League One.
Pavey was included in their squad for the final game of the season, away to Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux Stadium. He made his professional debut in the 2–4 defeat, coming on in the final minute for fellow debutant Jamie Philpot, who himself had come on as a substitute ten minutes earlier and scored.
