Jack Baldwin (born 30 June 1993) is an English footballer who plays for Peterborough United, as a defender and he can also play in midfield.[3]

Career

Hartlepool United

Baldwin was on trial at Gillingham and impressed Gills boss Andy Hessenthaler[4] after a season with Faversham Town's first-team at the age of 18 years before going on trial with North-East side Hartlepool United and signing a professional contract after impressing manager Mick Wadsworth in pre-season friendlies.[3] Prior to signing this contract, Baldwin was due to start University in a few months time to do a course in Sports Therapy at Kent.[3]

Baldwin made his senior debut for Hartlepool United on 17 December 2011 in a 1–0 home defeat against Colchester United[5] with caretaker boss Micky Barron saying "Jack came in and was steady. He got on the ball, won his tackles and headers and competed really well. He's been terrific since he came to the club on trial in pre-season."[6]

At the end of the 2011/12 season, Baldwin committed his future to Hartlepool by signing a long-term contract with the club.[7]

Baldwin scored his first senior goal in a 2–1 defeat to A.F.C. Bournemouth[8] in January 2013 and then scored again, four days later in a 3–1 win away to Portsmouth.[9]

Peterborough United

Baldwin moved to League One side Peterborough United for £500,000 on 31 January 2014 just minutes before the transfer deadline.

On the 1st of November 2014 Baldwin captained Peterborough for the first time. In the same game he ruptured a knee ligament that would rule him out for the next ten to twelve months.

Style of play

Baldwin is a versatile[10] footballer who can play centre-back,[11] right-back[12] or central midfield.[13] Former Hartlepool manager Neale Cooper likened 18-year-old Baldwin to a 'young Alan Hansen' praising Baldwin on 'the way he reads the game'.[14]
