Career

Forest Green Rovers

Baldwin joined Forest Green Rovers as a 15-year-old and combined football with education at South Gloucestershire and Stroud College.[2] He made his debut for Forest Green against Cheltenham Town in the Gloucestershire Senior Challenge Cup in April 2014 before signing a professional contract at the end of the 2014–15 season.[2] On 20 August 2015, Baldwin joined National League South club Bath City on a one-month loan deal.[3]

Bristol City

In January 2016, Baldwin signed for Championship side Bristol City on a two-and-a-half-year contract.[2] On 12 October 2016, Baldwin joined National League South club Weston-super-Mare on a 93-day loan deal.[4] He rejoined Weston-super-Mare on loan for a further two-month period ahead of the 2017–18 season.[5]

In August 2018, he moved on loan to League Two club Cheltenham Town until January 2019.[6] His loan spell was cut short after he suffered a serious knee injury which ruled him out for four months against Milton Keynes Dons in October 2018.[7]

In February 2020, Baldwin signed a new contract with Bristol City until June 2021 with the option of a further year,[8] and joined National League side Eastleigh on loan until the end of the season.[9]
