6 | Mathieu BAUDRY | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
An experienced lower league defender, Baudry joined Town on a one year deal after he was released by Milton Keynes Dons ahead of the 2019/20 season, with manager Richie Wellens pointing to his experience being promoted from League Two with both MK and Doncaster as a key factor in his signing. With a history of injury problems before joining Town, Baudry never managed to string together long runs of appearances in a red shirt, but played 26 games in his first season, and captained the side during the long-term absence of club captain Dion Conroy. Nicknamed 'Frenchie' by his imaginative teammates, he was a key part of Wellens' League Two winning side, mostly alongside Zeki Fryers in the heart of the Town defence, the club rewarding him with a new two year contract extension. The 2020/21 season was a step backwards for Baudry - his injury problems rearing their head and restricting him to only sixteen starts, although he did score his first Town goal in a 4-2 win over Burton Albion. After succumbing to injury again at the turn of the year, after four months out, he was brought back into the starting eleven by caretaker manager Tommy Wright against his former side MK Dons at the end of April - clearly not ready, he was substituted after just 27 minutes, with the Town already 2-0 down and heading for a 5-0 defeat and confirmed relegation back to League Two.
