Youth career

[edit]

Baggley began his career at Linfield and Glentoran,[5] moving to English club Fleetwood Town in September 2018 following two trial periods.[4]

Fleetwood Town

[edit]

After initially playing for the club's youth team, Baggley made his senior debut for Fleetwood Town on 9 March 2019, appearing as a late substitute in a 2–0 league defeat away at Walsall.[6][7] In doing so he became Fleetwood's youngest ever league player, at the age of 17 years and 57 days.[8] He was later praised by manager Joey Barton.[9] In July 2021 he signed a new three-year contract with Fleetwood.[10]

Altrincham loan

[edit]

On 26 October 2021, Baggley joined National League side Altrincham on loan for one month.[11] He scored on his debut for Altrincham against Solihull Moors,[12] and returned to Fleetwood in November 2021 having made a further two appearances during the loan spell.[13]

Waterford loans

[edit]

In January 2023, he was loaned out to Fleetwood's sister club Waterford for a season long loan until the end of their League of Ireland First Division campaign in November.[14][15] After returning to Fleetwood Town and featuring in a friendly against Waterford, it was announced on 18 January 2024 that Baggley would be returning to Waterford on a second loan spell for their 2024 League of Ireland Premier Division season following their promotion.[16] He returned to Fleetwood Town in November 2024 following the end of his loan spell.[17]

St Patrick's Athletic

[edit]

On 3 December 2024, it was announced that Baggley had signed for League of Ireland Premier Division club St Patrick's Athletic on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee.[18][19] He scored his first goal for the club on 21 January 2025, in a 2–1 win at home to Bray Wanderers in the Leinster Senior Cup.[20] On 10 July 2025, Baggley made the first appearance in European competition of his career in a 1–0 win over Hegelmann of Lithuania in the UEFA Conference League at Richmond Park.[21] On 25 January 2026, Baggley scored his first goal of the season in a 5–0 win over Longford Town in the Leinster Senior Cup.[22] On 21 August 2026, he scored his first league goal for the club, on his 60th league appearance, adding his side's second goal in the 92nd minute of a 2–0 win away to Drogheda United after coming off the bench.[23]
