Biography

Michael James Duckworth (born 28 April 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right back for National League club F.C. Halifax Town.

Early life and career

Duckworth was born in Rinteln, Lower Saxony, Germany and lived there for six months before being raised in Rawcliffe, York, England. He started playing for his local team in Rawcliffe aged five, before joining York City's youth team aged 10. Duckworth signed a two-year scholarship with York in May 2008 after graduating from the club's Centre of Excellence. However, he was released after failing to earn a professional contract in May 2010. He moved into non-League football with Harrogate Railway Athletic in the Northern Premier League Division One North in October 2010. Duckworth signed for Bradford Park Avenue in August 2011 and made 34 appearances in the 2011–12 season as they won promotion to the Conference North via the Northern Premier League Premier Division play-offs. He made 43 appearances in 2012–13 and won the club's Supporters' Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year awards.

Duckworth went on trial at League Two club Hartlepool United in July 2013 after being recommended to them by Bradford Park Avenue manager John Deacey. His trial was a success and he signed a month-to-month contract with Hartlepool on 22 August 2013. He made his professional debut two days later after playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 home defeat against Fleetwood Town. In September 2013, Duckworth was rewarded for his early season form by signing a new contract for a longer period to extend his stay at Victoria Park.

Duckworth signed for League One club Fleetwood Town on 17 June 2016. On 31 January 2017, he joined League Two club Morecambe on loan until the end of 2016–17.

On 5 August 2017, Duckworth signed for newly promoted National League club F.C. Halifax Town on a one-year contract.
