Bailey made his professional debut towards the end of the 2004–05 season at the age of 17, coming off the bench for Queens Park Rangers (QPR) in a Championship match away to Sheffield United.[citation needed] His premature call up was due to a lengthy injury list to Ian Holloway's side, but Bailey impressed with some strong tackles, good turns and an array of impressive passes. [citation needed]
The following two seasons saw Bailey feature more regularly, but he failed to hold down a regular first team place, despite some promising displays.[citation needed]
On 12 October 2007, he was signed by Oxford United on a one-month loan, where he made three appearances in the Conference Premier.[1][2]
Following his release from QPR, Bailey signed a one-year contract for Grays Athletic on 19 June 2008.[3] He was transfer listed by the club in January 2009, with financial pressures and manager Wayne Burnett's plans being cited as the reason.[4] Bailey was sent out on loan to Farnborough in March 2009.[5]
Ebbsfleet United signed Bailey in August following a successful trial.[6] He made his debut against Stevenage Borough on 18 August in Ebbsfleet's 3–0 away loss in the Conference Premier.[7] Bailey was released by Ebbsfleet in the summer of 2010 and went on to sign an initial short-term contract with Conference North club AFC Telford United.[8]
Bailey has since had spells with Kettering Town, two spells with Banbury United as well as a stint with Havant & Waterlooville.[citation needed] He then went on to sign for Isthmian Football League side Wealdstone and also had two spells with Dunstable Town.[citation needed]
After a spell at Wealdstone, Bailey re-signed for his second spell at Southern Football League Premier Division side Arlesey Town for the 2014–15 season, the side managed by Rufus Brevett.[9]
Bailey went on to play for AFC Dunstable, Bovingdon, Barton Rovers and Kempston Rovers.
