Margetts scored 10 goals in only 13 league appearances for Gainsborough, including a hat-trick in a 6–0 home win over Oxford City on 12 April.[6] He returned to Hull in the summer, but was loaned to Harrogate Town on 18 August.[7]

On 23 December 2014, Margetts returned to Gainsborough, also on a loan deal.[8] On 13 March 2015, he joined Cambridge United on loan until the end of the season.[9] Margetts made his professional debut on the following day, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 League Two home draw against Stevenage.[10]
