Edgar signed for Bournemouth on 1 October 2009 on a one-month loan from West Ham.[4] He made his professional, Bournemouth and Football League debut on 3 October 2009 in a 0–0 away draw against Port Vale.[5] Although Bournemouth wanted to extend his loan for a second month the Football League blocked their request and Edgar returned to West Ham at the end of October after only four appearances.[6]
Edgar was released by West Ham in June 2011.[7] In July 2011 he signed for Yeovil Town on a two-year contract.[8][9] Edgar made his debut against Exeter City in the 2–0 loss,[10] and scored his first goal against Preston North End in the 4–3 loss.[11] He was released at the end of the 2011–12 season.

On 7 January 2017, in a post-match interview, manager Garry Hill confirmed Edgar had been released.[22]
