Matty is Moira Barton's child and was born Hannah.
He returned to the Dales identifying as a man, with his mum finding it hard to accept his transition.
Before joining the show he said: "I’m very excited to be joining the very welcoming Emmerdale family.
"From nervous auditions to now working alongside the team daily has been truly amazing.
"Matty’s a ground breaking character to play and I can’t wait to see what’s ahead for him."
The actor has been involved in a number of dramatic storylines over the past three years, including ending up in a fireball after helping Marlon Dingle with a barbecue earlier last year.
Back in January he went public with his girlfriend Shea Rowan, and the pair have been sharing photos of each other on social media ever since.
