Club 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. 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. On 20 August 2015, Baldwin joined National League South club Bath City on a one-month loan deal.

He rejoined Weston-super-Mare on loan for a further two-month period ahead of the 2017–18 season.
