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]
