From St Stephen-in-Brannel, near St Austell, Pursall attended Brannel School and represented East Cornwall Schoolboys in the under-14 and 15 age groups. Having progressed through the Cornwall player pathway, he signed for Argyle's academy as an under-nine, and his encouraging development as a left-sided defender was rewarded when he was invited to join the England under-15 training camp in Loughborough for four days in August 2018.
Pursall played for the Pilgrims' under-18 side during the 2019-20 campaign, and at the end of the season was selected for a two-year apprenticeship at Home Park. His senior debut came in early September 2020, as a 76th minute substitute in the EFL Trophy defeat by Norwich City at Home Park, thus becoming, at 16 years and 176 days, the third youngest first team player in the club's history.
