Player Depature | McKauley Manning

Halesowen Town FC can confirm that after almost seven years, McKauley Manning has departed the club.

Mini made 215 appearances and scored 27 goals for the Yeltz, having joined the club all the way back in 2019 and featured in Royal Blue across the last seven seasons. Alongside Rob Evans, he was one of just two players left at the club who featured throughout our historic FA Trophy run in the 2019/20 season, where he scored our third in a 3-1 away win in the 2nd round replay at then National League Maidenhead United

Mini was key to our push to promotion to step 3, having made 34 appearances in the 2021/22 season, and 26 in our promotion campaign in 22/23, where he scored the opener in our play-off semi-final against Coleshill Town. In our first season back at step 3 since 2019 in the 2023/24 campaign, he featured 29 times across the season and had his best scoring season of seven goals which included his only hat-trick for the club in an FA Cup meeting at The Grove with Alvechurch in September 2023.

The season after, Manning featured 40 times for the Yeltz, and even provided the assist for our equaliser in the play-off semi-final defeat to AFC Telford United. During the most recent campaign, he featured 27 times for the club, and contributed with four goals & seven assists.

Mini is no doubt one of the greats at Halesowen Town in our recent history, and we would like to thank him from everyone at the club for his amazing contributions over the years, and wish him well for the future 💙
