Bradford City
Crewe manager
Before the following season started, Symes was loaned out to Macclesfield Town for six months,[19] but in July he suffered an ankle injury keeping him out until September.[20] He never played for Macclesfield meaning his action in 2005 was limited to just 35 minutes on New Year's Day.[21] Instead he joined Stockport County in another loan deal in January 2006,[22] where he made his one and only appearance in a 1–1 draw with Torquay United on 31 January 2006. He returned to Bradford and played another three games, scoring in a 1–1 draw with Brentford on 8 April 2006.[23] However his season again ended early when he pulled his hamstring during the draw with Brentford.[24] Symes later admitted "it never happened" for him at City and that his confidence was shattered by manager Colin Todd.[13]
Shrewsbury Town
At the start of the

Symes returned to Shrewsbury and started pre-season training ahead of the
In November 2008, he was again sent out on loan, this time to AFC Bournemouth, also in League Two, for one month. Simpson said: "We have a big squad and I felt that the opportunity for Michael to go and get a month out on loan at Bournemouth would do him the world of good."[52] Symes made his debut for Bournemouth on 15 November, as they lost 3–0 to Accrington Stanley.[53] He returned to Shrewsbury at the end of his month loan spell, in which he failed to score from five appearances.[7][54] He was immediately recalled to the Shrewsbury squad and came on as a second-half substitute in a 1–0 defeat to league leaders Wycombe Wanderers the following weekend.[55] Because of injury problems, Symes played only three more games, before he moved on loan, this time to Accrington Stanley, another League Two side.[7][56] He made his Accrington debut the day following his transfer, helping them to a 2–1 victory at home to Exeter City.[57] Symes scored with a headed goal to give Accrington a 1–0 victory against Grimsby Town,[58] which proved to be the only goal he recorded in seven games for Accrington,[7] before he returned to Shrewsbury Town at the end of the season. However, he was one of seven players released by Simpson after they lost the play-off final.[59]
Accrington Stanley
As a result of his loan spell at Accrington, Symes was one of five signings made by their manager

AFC Bournemouth
With his contract at Accrington having expired, Symes turned down Accrington's contract offer[74] and instead rejoined Bournemouth on 4 June 2010 ahead of their first season back in League One. Symes was one of three players signed on the same day—they were Bournemouth's first permanent signings in 17 months after the Football League lifted the club's transfer embargo.[75]
Symes was injured during pre-season but made his second Bournemouth debut on the opening day of the
On the final day of the January 2012 transfer deadline window, Symes rejoined his former Accrington manager John Coleman by joining

On 29 July 2013, Symes signed a permanent deal for Burton.[96] He came on as a 78th-minute substitute for Rene Howe in a League Cup second-round game against Championship team Fulham at the Pirelli Stadium on 27 August, and nearly scored the winning goal, which was disallowed for offside. When the game finished 1–1 after 90 minutes, he headed the Brewers into the lead in the 102nd, and when it finished 2–2 and went to penalties, he scored the first attempt although his team lost 5–4 nonetheless.[97] On 28 May 2014, he was released by manager Gary Rowett.[98]
Returning to Merseyside, Symes played two matches as late substitute for
