Career

Bridge was named in Villa's starting line-up for his senior debut on 8 January 2021 in an FA Cup third round tie against Liverpool.[2]

On 6 July 2021, Bridge was amongst several Academy players who were given new professional contracts.[3]

On 31 August 2021, Aston Villa announced Bridge would be joining Championnat National club Annecy for the 2021–22 season.[4] On 4 October 2021, Bridge made his debut in French football as a late substitute in a 2–0 league victory over Villefranche Beaujolais.[5] Bridge struggled for appearances at Annecy, due to a knee injury suffered the season before. In the first half of the season, Bridge only started one game in the Coupe de France, 3–2 defeat to Rumilly-Vallières on 17 October 2021[6] and made two substitute appearances in the league. In January 2022, returned to England, while still on loan with Annecy, to receive treatment and rehab.[7] His loan was officially cancelled on 27 January 2022.[8]
