Before Town he spent a season at Spotland, but didn’t manage to full break into the first team playing just 9 games before moving to Halifax on Loan.

Neil Redfearn

Neil Redfearn played one season for Halifax in 2001, making 42 appearances, scoring six goals from midfield.

As well as being a player he also had two spells as caretaker manager in 2001 and 2002.
