Michael Liddle

Liddle started his footballing career with Haydon Bridge and Sunderland , whom he joined as a youth player. [ 3 ] At Sunderland he progressed through the youth side and was given a professional contract ahead of the 2008–09 season . [ 4 ] It took until January 2010 for him to make his first-team debut, in a FA Cup third-round match at home to Barrow ; he came on as a substitute late in the game which Sunderland won 3–0. [ 5 ] On 14 November 2008, Liddle joined League One club Carlisle United on two months' loan ; he joined up with fellow Sunderland loanee Graham Kavanagh . [ 6 ] His debut came the following day, in the starting eleven for Carlisle's 3–1 win against Brighton & Hove Albion . [ 7 ] The loan was first extended until 14 February 2009, [ 8 ] and then to the end of the season; he went on to make 22 appearances. [ 9 ] Liddle signed a four-month youth loan with another League One club, Leyton Orient , on 5 August 2010, [ 10 ] but returned to Sunderland after only a month because of a groin injury. His only appearance was in the starting eleven against Yeovil Town . [ 11 ] On 6 January 2011, Liddle joined Gateshead on a 28-day loan. [ 12 ] He made his debut two days later in a 2–2 draw with Kidderminster Harriers , and "curl[ed] a beauty into the far corner with the outside of his boot" for his first senior goal, [ 13 ] which was voted Gateshead's goal of the season. [ 14 ] His loan was extended to the end of the 2010–11 season, which he finished with 22 Conference Premier appearances. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] — Wikipedia
