In September 2020, Freeman was given the squad number 30 ahead of the 2020–21 season having signed his first professional deal in the summer.[5] He made his professional first team debut for the club the following day in an EFL Cup first round home tie against Coventry City.[6] On 15 April 2021, Freeman signed a contract extension keeping him at the club beyond the 2020–21 campaign,[7] before joining National League side Woking on loan for the remainder of the season.[8]
