A promising midfielder at St James Park, Matty subsequently played in the Premiership with Barnsley and became a popular performer at Darlington.
This highly efficient midfield player was again a regular in the Barnsley line-up at the start of the 2000-01 season.
However, he suffered a calf injury in the FA Cup Third Round tie against Leeds United and was then diagnosed as having a double hernia.
He eventually came back into contention very late in the campaign and played in the final game at right back.
A natural ball winner whose usual role is to provide a link between defence and attack he always gives 100 per cent effort for the cause.
Matty was made available for transfer by Oldham Athletic in May 2004.
He returned to Darlington in March 2005 with a contract to the end of the season that was extended to June 2006 in May 2005.
