Playing career

Bailey began his career at Port Vale, where he was named as Youth Player of the Year for the 2020–21 season.[3] He made his first-team debut on 10 August 2021, coming on as a 75th-minute substitute for James Wilson in a 2–1 defeat to Sunderland in an EFL Cup first round fixture at Vale Park.[4] He made his League Two debut as a substitute in a 2–1 defeat at Newport County on 11 December.[5] On 12 March 2022, he joined Newcastle Town of the Northern Premier League Division One West on an initial one-month loan deal; he made his debut for Castle later that day in a 2–0 home defeat to Bootle.[6] Port Vale youth team manager Billy Paynter said that "he played on the left of a three and was a threat, he had a very good game" and had recovered well from an ankle injury that had kept him out of action for two months earlier in the season.[7] On 19 March, he scored his first career goal with a header 12 minutes into a 2–2 draw at Mossley.[8]

Personal life

His grandfather, Terry Bailey, played professionally for Port Vale in the 1970s and his father, Mark Bailey, played professionally for Rochdale, Lincoln City and Macclesfield Town.[9]
