[10] On 14 June, he signed a new contract. [11]

On 26 August 2022, Lockett joined Northern Premier League Premier Division side Atherton Collieries on a short-term loan agreement alongside his fellow young Trotter Arran Pettifer. [12] He made his debut a day later as a substitute in a 1–0 defeat against Matlock Town. [13] On 26 September, their loans were extended for another month. [14] On 14 October, he was recalled from his loan. [15] On 25 May 2023, he signed a new one-year deal with the option for an extra year. [16]
