HOME | NEWS |


Players & Staff who departed Altrincham in season 2025-26
or in close-season 2025


Justin AMALUZOR (d.o.b. 17 October, 1996 in Southwark, London) formerly no.11

Justin's arrival from Aldershot Town for an undisclosed fee was unveiled on 22 June 2023.

Having started at Luton Town and, after a brief spell at Dartford, Justin spent three years at Barnet (2015–2018) where he made 19 appearances.

Loans at Hayes & Yeading United, Hemel Hempstead Town, Hampton & Richmond Borough and Bognor Regis Town preceded his departure from The Hive for Braintree Town (2018/19), which was followed by a spell with Maidstone United (2019/21).

2021–2022 saw him up in Scotland at Motherwell, where he played 13 times, before he spent 2022-23 season at Aldershot.

In 2016, whilst at Barnet he changed to using his current name having previously been known as Justin Nwogu.

As a winger he is said to prefer to play on the right flank but to cut in and deliver with his left foot, skills he soon displayed in the 2023-24 campaign. He wears the name "Justin" on his shirt-back and he made an impressive start to his Altrincham career with his electric pace and a number of goals.

His 2024-25 season was disrupted after game 15 and he missed the next 13 league fixtures through injury before returning at Oldham in February 2025.

Justin opted to join an EFL side at the end of the season.

Appearances to end of 2024/25 season: 64(+12), 13 goals

Eddy JONES (d.o.b. 25 October 2001) formerly no.3

Eddy Jones, a left-back, rejoined Altrincham for a second loan spell from Stoke City on 2 September 2022. The loan will continue for four months till New Year 2023. The previous season Eddy had signed up for a season-long loan from The Potters on 3 February 2022.

He joined the Potteries club from Bury and he went on to make 12 appearances in a loan spell at AFC Telford United before playing three games in EFL 2 for Hartlepool United at the start of 2021-22 season. His loan spell in the North East saw him make six appearances in all for Hartlepool.

He returned to Stoke in January 2022 before his first move to Altrincham, where he made an assured debut at left-back on 5 February 2022.

Eddy has representative honours at under-17 and under-21 for Wales. He went straight into the starting eleven at left-back on his "second coming" to the club and on 10 January 2023 it was announced that Eddy had signed on as an Altrincham player after leaving Stoke City.

A virtual ever-present, Jones made the left-back berth his own in 2022-23, a pattern which continued into 2023-24. He was also ever-present in 2023-24 until injury briefly interrupted his season in late December 2023.

2024-25 saw him sent off in the opening game and then start less regularly than in the previous campaign. More misfortune followed as he suffered a serious injury which sidelined him from early December 2024. This was only revealed to have been an ACL injury on 13 February 2025, for which an operation had already been carried out.

Appearances to end of 2024/25 season: 118(+6), 4 goals

James JONES (d.o.b. 13 March 1997) formerly no.16

James's return to Altrincham was unveiled on 28 July 2022 after he had rejected a contract renewal at EFL2 club Barrow.

James first played as a trialist for Alty in July 2017 but, in August, decided to try his luck elsewhere. However, he returned to sign for Altrincham in time to make his competitive debut on 23 August 2017.

Before joining Altrincham, James had spent three seasons with Welsh Premier club The New Saints, progressing from their Academy to first team. His first season at Alty was slightly curtailed by a hamstring injury shortly before the end of the campaign.

But 2018-19 saw him establish himself as the regular partner for Tom Hannigan at the heart of the Altrincham defence.

That season he was a virtual ever-present and he started 2019-20, once more, as first choice in the right-sided centre-back role until illness briefly cost him his place in New Year 2020. However, what turned out to be an excellent 2019-20 season culminated in his decision to leave Altrincham for Barrow in the Football League, a decision announced on 19 July 2020.

After retrurning to Moss Lane and starting eight of the first nine games of 2022-23, James lost his place to Jake Cooper but soon re-established himself as a regular starter. From 2023-24 he was the senior professional at the club and it was not surprising that on 22 July 2023 it was announced that James would be the team captain for the season.

He again started regularly at the start of 2023-24 before temporarily losing his place. Then an injury necessitated a shoulder operation in the Christmas season of 2023 and he missed the rest of the season.

Out of contract in summer 2024, he was invited back to pre-season to prove his fitness and he was re-signed as was announced on 9 July 2024 .

Appearances to end of 2024/25 season: 191(+18), 19 goals.

Regan LINNEY (d.o.b. 12 May 1997 in Preston) formerly no.9

On 3 February, 2023, it was announced that Regan had become the club's ninth signing inside a three-week period. However, he was the first of that clutch to be a permanent signing, for an undisclosed fee, rather than a loanee.

Linney joined from NPL side FC United of Manchester FC United, a club that he had joined in 2019 from Bamber Bridge for whom he made his debut in 2015.

The striker had made 133 appearances for FCUM and netted 61 goals before signing for the Robins. His debut came off the bench against Wrexham on 4 February 2023 and he soon impressed, scoring three times (including two penalties) in his first five outings for Alty, two of which were games in which he was a substitute.

But in 2023-24, having scored three times in the first six fixtures, he was sidelined by injury and missed eleven league matches before returning to action and scoring regularly, including a number of penalties.

Regan was not fully fit for the start of the 2024-25 season and his minutes on the pitch, accordingly, were limited initially but he scored regularly before it was announced on 1 October 2024 that he had extended his contract for an unspecified period.

By early 2025 he was the leading scorer in the National League and he ended the season as Alty's leading scorer with 25 goals in all competitions.

On 30 May 2025 it was announced that Linney had joined fellow National League side Cartlisle Uniyed.

He had spent two and a bit seasons at the J. Davidson Stadium. His first season was affected by an eleven-game injury absence and he completed 2022-23 with 8 goals from 15(+5) appearances.

The 2023-24 season brought 24(+11) appearances and 15 goals, whilst 2024-25 season was his most fruitful with 42(+6) appearances and 25 goals. Overall, therefore, he made 81(+22) appearances and scored 48 times.

Appearances to end of 2024/25 season: 81(+22), 48 goals

Alex NEWBY (d.o.b. 21 November, 1995 in Barrow) formerly no. 10

Left-winger Alex arrived at Altrincham on loan from Colchester United. That move was announced on 21 September 2023 as, initially, a loan until 2 January 2024. But it was subsequently extended by a month. Alex had previously played against Alty, notably for Chorley.

A Barrovian, he is the twin brother of Elliot Newby who had two successful loan spells at Altrincham.

Alex arrived at Moss Lane with a wealth of higher level experience, having made 108 EFL appearances. For Rochdale he made 54(+20) appearances and scored 12 goals. At Colchester United he played 17(+17) matches and scored three times. So, overall he had 71(+37) EFL appearances to his credit and had scored 15 goals in those matches.

Alex scored for Alty within five minutes of his debut, against Ebbsfleet United, on 23 September 2023. His permamnent signing by Altrincham was revealed on 30 January 2024 by which time he had made 20 appearances, all but two of them being in the National League. In those 18 league games he had scored six times at the time of his signing for the Robins.

He continued his good form into 2024-25 season playing most effectively in the number ten role. He netted 15 times during the campaign and contributed many assists.

Despite an offer of improved terms, he chose to follow team-mate Linney out of the club, signing for York City of 2025-26.

Appearances to end of 2024/25 season: 86(+5), 28 goals

Harvey RANDLE (d.o.b. 15 September, 2003) formerly no.30

Harvey was unexpectedly named on the bench in the fourth fixture of 2024-25 season, having not figured in the summer warm-up friendlies. Randle had recently left Coventry United and had been "in advanced talks with West Bromwich Albion".

He started out with Derby County under-18s before going on loan to Alvechurch, in the Southern League Premier Division Central, from where he was loaned to Coventry United in the United Counties League before returning to Alvechurch.

After a number of inclusions on Altrincham's National League bench, Harvey made his debut in the Cheshire Senior Cup on 1 October 2024, when his series of fine saves saved his team from heavier defeat.

He made his National League debut on 16 November 2024 against Southend United and kept a clean sheet.

Dislocated fingers sidelined Harvey early in 2025 but he returned to be named on the bench in mid-February 2025.

Altrincham appearances to end of 2024/25 season: 5(+2)


Remi THOMPSON (d.o.b. 1 June 2002) formerly no.28

Remi was a surprise signing having appeared only as an 83rd minute substitute on the right-wing in the final game of 2024 pre-season fixtures. However, he made no further appearances before 31 October when it was announced that he would be joining Chadderton club, AVRO, on loan.

Remi was with Fulham, Manchester United and Huddersfield Town as a youngster but made his professional bow in Ireland with Waterford.

Appearances to end of 2024/25 season: 0(+3), 0 goals.

George WILSON (d.o.b. 10 March, 2001 in Todmorden) formerly no.19

George was announced as a new signing on 24 June 2023, with manager Parkinson stating that he would go out on loan for the 2023-24 season at National League North level. The Alty manager described him as a "box to box midfielder" though earlier in his career he had been a right-back.

Before joining Coalville in summer 2022 on a season-long contract, George had played for Loughborough University and for third-tier Swedish club Ljungskile SK. However, an injury sidelined him after his second appearance in September 2023 before he returned to action in late November and established himself as a regular starter until red-carded near the end of the season.

He was re-contracted for an unstated period in summer 2024. Having put in some good performances in 2024-25 season he wassidelined by injury after Christmas 2024 and was still out of action as February 2025 drew to a close.

Appearances to end of 2024/25 season: 39(+24), 3 goals.
