Born in Glasgow,[1] Longridge played youth football for Barrachnie and Harmony Row,[2][3] before signing with Bo'ness United in February 2012.[4] After signing for Hamilton Academical, Longridge made his debut in the Scottish Football League for them on 7 April 2012, in a 2–1 defeat against Raith Rovers.[5][6] In May 2012, Longridge scored twice as Hamilton won the Reserve League Cup Final.[7] He signed a new contract with Hamilton in June 2012,[8] before signing a further one-year extension in May 2013.[9][10]
