Career

[edit]

Baker signed his first professional contract with Plymouth Argyle in 2023 after spending two years as a football scholar in Argyle's Academy[1] having previously coming up through Argyle's youth set up from the age of 12.

He spent his first year as a professional on loan to Tiverton Town F.C.[2][3] (where he was awarded Young Player of the Season),[4] whilst still training with Argyle on a daily basis. After a successful spell on loan, he was offered another years contract with Argyle.[5][6]

At the start of the 2024-25 season, he was sent out on loan to Plymouth Parkway[7][8] before being recalled early due to Mike Cooper's move to Sheffield United.[9] Since then, Baker has rejoined Tiverton Town on loan.[10]
