Having made ten appearances across his first season, Bennett signed a new two-year contract, with the option for a further year, in May 2022.

On 15 June 2022, Bennett joined League Two club Walsall on a season-long loan deal. On 31 December, Cambridge United manager Mark Bonner chose to recall Bennett from his loan deal following a number of defensive injuries picked up by the club.

On 10 June 2025, the club announced he had signed a new two-year contract.
