During 2020, Bidois also played for Lower Hutt City who were the Wellington Phoenix feeder club, that allowed the Phoenix team and players to play in the Central League portion of the New Zealand National League.[1][4] He again played for Lower Hutt City in 2021 and was the leagues second top goalscorer with 16 goals behind fellow Phoenix player George Ott.[2]
