Sean Michael Newton (born 23 September 1988) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for National League club York City, on loan from National League club Wrexham.

Club career

Early career

Newton was born in Liverpool, Merseyside.[1] A product of the club's youth system, he signed a professional contract with Chester City in May 2007. He made his first-team debut for Chester on 1 January 2008 against Grimsby Town at left-back, after being an unused substitute in previous matches.

Newton spent time on loan with Southport in the early weeks of the 2007–08 season, allowing him to gain first-team experience. This spell included him scoring from a free-kick against Tamworth.[2] After thirteen league and four cup appearances, he returned to Chester City in November 2007.

At the end of February 2008, Newton and teammate Stephen Vaughan joined Droylsden on loan, where he enjoyed regular first-team football for the remainder of the season.[3]

Newton was in the headlines on 24 December 2008, the day after he played in an FA Cup second round replay against Chesterfield. Newton scored twice for Droylsden in a 2–1 victory to secure a third round tie against Ipswich Town. However, it emerged after the match that Newton was due to serve a one-game suspension on the day after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season on 9 December. Droylsden had been informed of the suspension by the Football Association on 10 December. This meant that Newton was ineligible to play in the game against Chesterfield. The FA investigated the incident with the matter dealt with by an FA Cup committee on 29 December, after which the three clubs involved were informed of the decision,[4] which was that the club were expelled from the competition, after being found guilty of fielding an ineligible player. The club lodged an appeal, which was unsuccessful.[5]

On 28 August 2009, Newton signed a loan deal with Conference North club AFC Telford United following a move in the opposite direction by left-back Gareth Jelleyman.

In March 2012, he joined Stockport County on loan until the end of the season. He joined Stockport on a permanent deal in May 2012.[6]

Stockport County

Newton very quickly became a fan favourite at Edgeley Park. At the start of 2012–13, he was second in line for captaincy. Newton's speed and Freekick ability led to him scoring 6 times in his first full season for the Hatters; making him third in the top scorers list for the season. With Joe Connor and James Tunnicliffe being out of the team, Newton became the captain and was in line for the County Player of the Season award.

Wrexham

On 14 May 2015, Newton signed for National League club Wrexham. During the 2015/2016 season he was ever present in the league before signing a new one-year deal in May 2016. Newton was made captain by manager Gary Mills for 2016–17.

York City

On 28 October 2016, Newton was reunited with Mills after joining Wrexham's National League rivals York City on loan until 4 January 2017, with a view to a permanent move on a one-and-a-half-year contract.[7]

International career

Newton was capped five times by the England national C team, scoring one goal, from 2009 to 2010.[8]
