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]
