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, 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. At the end of the season he signed his first professional contract with a one-year deal. 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.
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. Three days after leaving the club, Hildreth joined Corby Town, 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.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
