Mick started his football career in 1999 when he left his home in County Kildare for a scholarship with Nottingham Forest which then led to Celtic.
At the age of sixteen, football made way for many years in the saddle and flat racing where he won almost 500 races until a horrendous back injury prevented him from carrying on.
After some 30 months recovery, he was able to think about playing football again and had a spell at Garforth before joining Railway for the first time in 2017, but his focus was changing to coaching. Darlington provided his first real taste of coaching with their under 18’s and 23’s before he joined the First team staff.
He returned to Railway and inherited the Managers job in 2019 just before Covid brought everything to a standstill. With Josh at his side, he then turned things completely around once football returned to normality and took Rail to two consecutive play off positions.
