Career

Sloane started his career playing youth football with Bury, whilst also representing the Greater Manchester County Schools side.[3] After Bury's youth team was disbanded following administration, he signed for AFC Fylde as a youth scholar in 2019.[3]

On 24 August 2020, he began his senior career in non-league when he signed for North West Counties Football League Division One North side Bury AFC.[3] He only made two appearances for the club before he went on to sign for Chester on a two-year youth scholarship.[5] In August 2021 he transferred to North West Counties Premier Division side Avro on dual-registration.[6] He made 21 appearances for the club in all competitions, scoring twice, including once in has last game against Vauxhall Motors.[6] On 18 November 2021, he was on the move again when he stepped up a division to sign for Northern Premier League Division One West side Clitheroe.[6]

On 1 September 2022, he turned professional when he signed for EFL League One side Accrington Stanley for an undisclosed fee, putting pen to paper on a two-year deal.[7] He had played for Clitheroe in a pre-season friendly against Accrington's under-21 side managed by Ged Brannan in July 2022 and then impressed when invited on trial.[8] Upon signing, manager, John Coleman, stated "I like Bailey's attitude; I like his hunger and he's a good footballer".[8] He made his professional debut three days later in the 2–0 League One defeat to Ipswich Town at the Crown Ground, replacing Ethan Hamilton as a late substitute.[4] On 11 November 2022, he joined National League North strugglers AFC Telford United on a one-month long loan deal, who had just appointed Kevin Wilkin as manager, with the club at the foot of the table.[9] On 23 February 2023, he joined Northern Premier League Premier Division side Radcliffe on a one-month long loan deal.[10]
