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]
