Mark James Halstead (born 17 September 1990) is an English professional footballer who currently plays for Shrewsbury Town as a goalkeeper.
He began his career at Blackpool, and notably made a single appearance in the Premier League during the 2010−11 season.[2] After his release from the Tangerines he joined Shrewsbury Town in 2014.[3]
Career
Blackpool
Born in Blackpool, Halstead is a product of the Blackpool Centre of Excellence and Youth Department, and signed his first professional contract with the club in 2009.[4] In his first season as a professional he spent loan spells at non-league sides Burscough and Hyde United.[5]
On 21 August 2010, he was an unused substitute in Blackpool's 6–0 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the club's second game of their debut season in the Premier League.[6] Three days later, he made his first-team debut in the second round of the 2010–11 League Cup, against MK Dons at Stadium MK.[7]
After further brief loan spells at Barrow,[5] and Kettering Town[8] in the Conference Premier, Halstead made his league debut for Blackpool, as a substitute for Richard Kingson in a 3–1 defeat to Chelsea at Bloomfield Road. The score was 3–0 when he came on in the 66th minute.[2]
In November 2011, he went on loan to Stockport County.[9]
Halstead made his first league start for Blackpool on 9 February 2013, in a 2–1 victory over Millwall at Bloomfield Road.[10] It was ultimately also his last appearance for the club.
Shrewsbury Town
Following his release from Blackpool, Halstead joined Shrewsbury Town in League Two on a free transfer on 5 June 2014.[11] He made his debut as a substitute in a first-round FA Cup tie away at Walsall on 8 November,[12] and made one subsequent appearance that season in a league match against Cambridge United, as a half-time substitute for first-choice goalkeeper Jayson Leutwiler in a 0−0 draw.[13]
The following season, now in League One, Halstead made his first start for Shrewsbury against his former club Blackpool on 26 September 2015, keeping a clean sheet in a 2−0 win for the clubs first home victory of the season.[14][15]
Although Leutwiler was reinstated immediately after recovering from a back injury, Halstead had another run in the first-team when Leutwiler suffered a serious facial injury in an FA Cup second-round tie away at Grimsby Town. Coming on as a substitute, he helped Shrewsbury keep a clean sheet to set up a replay back at New Meadow,[16][17] where he featured again in a 1−0 victory, to confirm a third-round tie away at Cardiff City.[18] After conceding ten goals in two league games,[19] he lost his place once again to Leutwiler for an away match at Burton Albion,[20] but returned to the side for a further consecutive six matches during March and April, including one win and three draws, before being sent-off late on in a 3−1 defeat against Millwall.[21] Halstead made one final appearance that season in the penultimate match, where despite losing 4−3 to Peterborough United, same day defeats for Blackpool and Doncaster Rovers ensured another season of League One football with one game to spare.[22]
Halstead signed a new one-year contract extension in August 2016.[23] Starting the season again as second-choice, he returned to the starting line-up under new manager Paul Hurst following Leutwilers first call-up to the Canada national team.[24]
