Career

Hildreth joined Coventry City as an eight-year old after being scouted playing for Hartshill Sports and the Nuneaton-born midfielder went on to captain the City under 18s. He also scored the winning goal in extra-time for Coventry City reserves in the Senior Cup against Nuneaton Borough,[2] they then went on to lift the trophy in May and he followed that success up by making his first-team debut as a late substitute on the final day of the 2006/07 season against Burnley as a substitute for Jay Tabb.[3] At the end of the season he signed his first professional contract with a one-year deal.[4] However he did not make another appearance for Coventry and at the end of the 2007-2008 season manager Chris Coleman announced Hildreth would be one of eight first team player whose contracts would not be renewed, and was subsequently released.[5]

Hildreth joined Tamworth in July 2008 but was released by mutual consent on 14 October 2008 after falling out with the management at the club.[6] Three days after leaving the club, Hildreth joined Corby Town,[7] making his debut the next day in a 2-1 win over Bedford Town in the FA Trophy. At the end of the season Hildreth left Corby to sign for Brackley Town.[8]
