Aldred came in the first half of the season 1947/49 to eleven league and four cup appearances, in both competitions he managed a hit when he formed the wing tongs with Jimmy Condie or Lou Tinkler . The last time he was at the end of January in a 4-0 defeat in the FA Cup against the second division Luton Town was used. After his change request had been publicly communicated in early March 1949, he left Walsall at the end of the season and continued his career in the Southern Football League .

There he first rejoined Hereford and then played for Cheltenham Town (from August 1950), Yeovil Town (1951/52; 28 competitive games / 8 goals), FC Tonbridge , the Kidderminster Harriers (from August 1953) and Rugby Town (from September 1954).
