Perspective
Aston Villa
Mungo Bridge signed his first professional contract for Aston Villa in October 2018, the initial deal running for two-and-a-half years. 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.[3]
He signed renewed contract terms with the club in July 2021.
Annecy Loan
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, he 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]
On 10 June 2022, Bridge was released by Aston Villa.[9] In August 2022, he joined Bristol Rovers on trial basis, but was not offered a permanent contract.[10]
Non League Career in England
In November 2022, Bridge joined Northern Premier League Division One West club Macclesfield.[11] The club did not officially announce the signing prior to Bridge being named in the starting lineup on 16 November in a 4–2 away victory over 1874 Northwich in the Cheshire Senior Cup.[12] This turned out to be his only appearance for Macclesfield.[13]
Bridge signed for Daventry Town in February 2023, having previously spent time at the club as a youth player.[14]
