On 26 October 2021, Baggley joined National League side Altrincham on loan for one month.[11] He scored on his debut for Altrincham against Solihull Moors,[12] and returned to Fleetwood in November 2021 having made a further two appearances during the loan spell.[13]

Waterford loans

In January 2023, he was loaned out to Fleetwood's sister club Waterford for a season long loan until the end of their League of Ireland First Division campaign in November.[14][15] After returning to Fleetwood Town and featuring in a friendly against Waterford, it was announced on 18 January 2024 that Baggley would be returning to Waterford on a second loan spell for their 2024 League of Ireland Premier Division season following their promotion.[16] He returned to Fleetwood Town in November 2024 following the end of his loan spell.[17]
