Matthew David Blinkhorn (born 2 March 1985) is an English footballer who plays for York City as a striker.

Career

Blackpool

Born in Blackpool, Lancashire, Blinkhorn started his career with hometown club Blackpool.[1] On 22 November 2006 he was loaned to Bury, but Blackpool manager Simon Grayson included a 24-hour recall clause in the contract, which began 28 days into the loan period. The loan period was due to end on 22 February 2007, but Blackpool cut it short and he returned on 9 February.

Morecambe

He was loaned to Morecambe for a month on 2 March 2007.[3] Blinkhorn made an immediate impact, scoring the first goal in a 2–0 victory over St Albans City. By the end of his loan stint he had scored eight goals in 12 games.

Blinkhorn joined Morecambe on a permanent basis on 28 June,[4] for a fee of tribunal-set fee of £15,000, plus 25% of any future transfer fee that Morecambe were to receive for him.[5]

Sligo Rovers

He was released by Morecambe in May 2009, and joined League of Ireland Premier Division side Sligo Rovers two months later. He made his debut for Sligo as a substitute in a 3–0 home defeat against Cork City at the Showgrounds on 12 July and scored his first goal for the club two weeks later in a 2–0 win over St Patrick's Athletic at home.[6]

After the signing of Shamrock Rovers striker Pádraig Amond in the pre-season of 2010, Blinkhorn had to be second choice for half of the season until Amond signed for F.C. Paços de Ferreira. On 25 September 2010, Blinkhorn scored the winner for Sligo in a 1–0 win against Monaghan United in the 2010 League of Ireland Cup Final.[7] He had to sit out Sligo's penalty shoot-out win over Shamrock Rovers in the 2010 FAI Cup Final on 14 November through suspension, along with recently confirmed PFAI Player of the Year, Richie Ryan.

York City

Following the expiration of his Sligo contract, Blinkhorn returned to England after signing for Conference side York City on a contract until the end of the 2011–12 season 10 January 2012.[8] He scored four minutes into his debut against Salisbury City in the FA Trophy second round on 14 January, having entered as a 65th minute substitute, with York's fifth goal in a 6–2 victory.[9]
