Baily James Cargill (born 5 July 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for EFL League One club Mansfield Town.
[9] In effort of making a first team breakthrough ahead of the 2014–15 season,[10] Cargill made his first senior appearance for Bournemouth on 12 August 2014 as a centre-back in a 2–0 League Cup win at Exeter City, and seven days later, on 19 August 2014, he was rewarded with a place on the bench in Bournemouth's 2–1 defeat to Nottingham Forest in the Championship.
[15] One of his teammates, Harry Arter came to his defence after he believed that The Independent wrote an article about Cargill and accused the newspaper "bullying".
[20] After his loan spell at Gillingham, Cargill spent the rest of the season, fighting for his place in the first team, which saw him appear as an unused substitute.
[23] In November 2012 he was loaned to Southern League club AFC Totton on a one-month deal as part of a work experience arrangement.
[25] At Totton, Cargill cemented himself as a first-team regular, scoring 3 goals in 26 appearances and being voted the Fans' Player of the Season.
[31] Towards at the end of the 2013–14 season Chris Hargreaves, having recently moved from a coaching role at Bournemouth's academy to become manager of Torquay United, signed Cargill on loan to play at left-back.
[33] Cargill then provided assist for Ashley Yeoman, in a 2–1 win over Exeter City on 21 April 2014, in hope of survival relegation.
[37] Cargill went on to make five appearances for Coventry City before returning to his parent club, due to picking up ankle injury during a 1–0 loss against Rochdale on 5 March 2016.
[40] It wasn't until on 8 November 2016 when he made his Gillingham debut, where he started the match, in a 2–0 win over West Bromwich Albion U23 in the EFL Trophy.
[45] He made his Fleetwood Town debut, where he came on as a substitute for Nathan Pond, in a 3–1 loss against Bristol Rovers on 26 August 2017.
[53] Although the club finished 11th place in the league, Partick Thistle still had to face Livingston in the Premiership play-offs to ensure their status; however, they were relegated to the Scottish Championship after losing 3–1 on aggregate.
[56] After initially suffering from injury, he made his Milton Keynes Dons' debut in the second round of the League Cup, in a 3–0 win over Charlton Athletic.
[58] Three days later, on 28 August 2018, he played against his former club, Bournemouth, in the second round of the League Cup and the match ended with Milton Keynes Dons losing 3–0.
