Career
Bridge began his career with Southend United at the age of nine and signed his first professional contract with the club in April 2014. Bridge went on loan to Soham Town Rangers in November 2014 and experienced his first taste of first team football, scoring two goals in five starts in his time at the club. After it was reported that Bridge was on the radar of clubs bigger in stature than Soham, Bridge signed for Chelmsford City in January 2015 on an initial one-month loan deal which was later extended to the end of the season. On 22 January 2016, Bridge returned to Chelmsford City alongside fellow Southend loanee Jason Wiliams. Bridge scored, assisted and was named Man of the Match on his return to the club in a 4–3 win against Whitehawk a day later.
On 30 April 2016, Bridge made his debut for Southend United in a 1–0 loss against Bradford City as a substitute for Glen Kamara. On 9 May 2016, Bridge signed a 2-year contract extension at Southend United.
In January 2017, Bridge began training with Bournemouth ahead of a possibility of a permanent transfer to the club.
