Mason McNeill departs the Steelmen

The forward-turned-fullback moves on from Green Lane by mutual consent.

Redcar Athletic can confirm popular forward Mason McNeill has left the club.

The makeshift fullback departs following a mutual cancellation of his contract, with the best wishes of all involved.

An integral part of Gary Forster’s record-breaking side last season, Mason found success amongst the Steelmen having converted to a fullback role.

Signed as a forward in the October of 2022, the 28-year-old made 43 appearances under a trio of head coaches, second only to half-centurion Donny Holdsworth during his stay.

The makeshift right-back notched three goals for the club: supplemented by a further seven assists, and headlined by a bewildering strike against his former side, Thornaby.

Mason proved a popular figure at the club, both esteemed in the dressing room and around the terraces, and will be sorely missed by all involved.

As thus, the club would like to wish the very best for his future career, and maintain he will always be welcome on the Redcar seafront.

Go well, Mason.
