Orin Aldridge joined City’s Academy in the Foundation Phase and caught the eye with his speed and agility.

Aldridge is in the first year of his scholarship with the Imps but has suffered injury problems throughout the 2024/25 campaign, which have kept him sidelined for much of the season.

He enjoyed a fruitful pre-season along with a quick start to the 2025/26 campaign but injuries have seen his minutes become limited as the season has progressed.
