Michael Symes (born 31 October 1983) is an English former professional footballer who played as a striker.

He started his career as a trainee with

loan spell. He spent three seasons with Shrewsbury, then joined Accrington Stanley
in July 2009 after a loan period the previous season.

His most successful campaign in terms of goals was with Accrington, which resulted in a summer move to newly promoted

Burton Albion, initially on a temporary deal, before being released in 2014. He played two matches for Southport
in 2015.

Career

Everton

Symes was born in

2003–04 season making his debut as a substitute against Nottingham Forest on 27 March.[6] He played four games during his loan spell, starting once against Coventry City when he scored his first senior goal in a 3–1 win.[7][8][9]

Bradford City

Crewe manager

Football League.[16] The following month, Symes scored his first goals for Bradford when he came off the bench at half-time to score twice in a 3–1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday on 23 October 2004.[17] They were the only goals he scored that season from just 15 games.[18]

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

play-off final at Wembley Stadium.[34][35]

Symes was not a regular in the Shrewsbury side at the start of the

2007–08 season,[34] making 12 starts and nine substitute appearances as he scored just three goals. In January 2008, he rejoined Macclesfield Town with defender Neil Ashton on loan until the end of the season.[34] Despite his exit, Shrewsbury manager Gary Peters said the pair could both return to Shrewsbury at the end of the season.[36] He played his first Macclesfield game in a 1–0 defeat to Peterborough on 12 January,[37] and scored his first goal as Macclesfield drew 1–1 with Milton Keynes Dons on 29 January.[38] It was his only goal in his first eight games and he was dropped for Macclesfield's 3–0 defeat against Peterborough on 23 February when he came on as a substitute in the 44th minute.[39] He returned to the side a week later for new manager Keith Alexander's first match against Notts County when Macclesfield were denied a victory by a late goal from Richard Butcher.[40] While Symes was on loan at Macclesfield, Shrewsbury manager Peters left the club and was replaced with Paul Simpson,[41] who promised Symes and other players out on loan that he would monitor their progress and build his own opinion of them.[42] Macclesfield were involved in a relegation fight during Symes' stay and it was not until a 1–0 victory over Chesterfield on the penultimate weekend of the season that Macclesfield ensured they would be in the league the following season.[43] Symes played 14 games, four as substitute, but scored just one goal during his stay with Macclesfield.[7]

Symes returned to Shrewsbury and started pre-season training ahead of the

2008–09 season, having been told by Simpson that he would be given the same chance as any other player at Shrewsbury to impress,[44] and also personally vowing to force his way into the manager's first-team plans.[45] However, Simpson signed new strikers during the summer including Grant Holt, who cost a club record £170,000,[46] and Symes spent the start of the season out of the team. After scoring six goals in two consecutive reserve games,[47] Symes earned his first game for the first team, when he came off the bench to score a late equaliser and earn Shrewsbury a 2–2 draw with Notts County on 30 August.[48] After starting in a 2–1 Football League Trophy victory against Exeter City,[49] he was again sidelined when he picked up a knee injury.[50] He returned to action in mid-October, when he came on as substitute to give Shrewsbury a late equaliser against Port Vale, only for Vale to score another goal to give them victory.[51]

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

John Coleman on the same day at the start of pre-season training in July 2009.[60] Symes scored his first goal of the new season with a late consolation goal for Accrington in a 2–1 League Cup defeat to Queens Park Rangers,[61] before scoring his first league goal later the same week against former team Shrewsbury Town but in another defeat.[62] After an improved run of form, Symes' first two-goal haul for Accrington in a 5–3 victory over another of his former teams, Crewe Alexandra, helped his new side into the top-half of the League Two table.[63] Symes also scored goals in the FA Cup and the Football League Trophy, helping Accrington to the third round of the former competition and into the northern zone semi-finals against Leeds United in the latter.[7][64][65]

His goals helped Symes land December's

Bobby Grant as the January transfer window closed.[73] Symes finished the season with 19 goals—his best return of his career to that point—with 13 of those coming in the league.[7]

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

José Semedo was sent off for a bad tackle on Symes.[76][77] He was again a substitute for his side's League Cup match before he made his first start the following weekend as Bournemouth defeated Peterborough United 5–1[78] and a week later he grabbed his first Bournemouth goal with a penalty in a 3–0 win against Tranmere Rovers.[79] However, Symes soon suffered a shoulder injury, which required specialist treatment and kept him out for nearly a month. With Bournemouth's form pushing them towards the top of the league, Symes admitted he would have to prove himself again to manager Eddie Howe.[80] Bournemouth, however, suffered a number of injuries to strikers, and they risked bringing Symes back early. He was brought on as a half-time substitute against Carlisle United and helped lead his side to a 2–0 victory by scoring the second goal.[81] He instantly won a place in Bournemouth's starting team and followed up his goal-scoring performance by netting twice against Exeter City to put Bournemouth second in the table.[82] He soon spent another six weeks on the sidelines because of a shoulder injury before returning in November.[83] His injury problems continued during the winter and he struggled to gain a run of games in the team meaning he did not score again until February[84] at which point he scored in three successive matches.[85]

On the final day of the January 2012 transfer deadline window, Symes rejoined his former Accrington manager John Coleman by joining

Oldham Athletic, a hat-trick concluding with a penalty which he won after being fouled by James Tarkowski.[87] Two weeks later, he scored the only other goal of his 15-match loan spell, an 82nd-minute penalty in a 3–3 draw with Walsall at Spotland, having earlier missed an open goal when set up by Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro.[88] On 14 May, he was one of four players released by new Bournemouth manager Paul Groves.[89]

Leyton Orient / Burton Albion

On 28 June 2012, along with

Football League Trophy, seven minutes after replacing Mooney.[93]

Symes was loaned to League Two

Burton Albion on 31 January 2013, until the end of the season.[94] He made his debut two days later, away to bottom-placed AFC Wimbledon, and equalised for a 1–1 draw in the 36th minute.[95] He scored 4 goals in 15 appearances as the team made the play-offs
, being eliminated by his former employers Bradford.

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

Bristol Rovers.[100]
