On 30 April 2016, Bridge made his debut for Southend United in a 1–0 loss against Bradford City as a substitute for Glen Kamara. On 9 May 2016, Bridge signed a two-year contract extension at Southend United.
In January 2017, Bridge began training with Bournemouth ahead of a possibility of a permanent transfer to the club.
On 5 January 2018, Bridge joined Northampton Town for an undisclosed fee. On 6 May 2019, Northampton announced Bridge was amongst eight players to be released prior to the start of the next season. A month later he joined fellow League Two side Carlisle United on a one-year deal.
In August 2020, Bridge played in pre-season on trials for both Bristol Rovers and Southend United.
