Greg Olley

Career
Olley started his career at Newcastle Utd in the youth set-up (12/13). He never made an appearance for the magpies and got a free transfer to Hull in the 15/16 season. After not making an appearance for Hull City 1st team, he joined Gateshead FC at the start of the 18/19 season and had a very good midfield performace with 7 goals from 39 games. The 19/20 season came and he was a pivotal player maker for Gateshead's push into the National League after getting demoted a year earlier. He clocked 2 goals, 9 assists in 42 appearances. Greg had a very good 20/21 campaign where he managed 9 goals and 8 assists in 49 games. This earned him 'player of the season' from manager Luke Ireland. Unfortunaetly the 21/22 season saw him riddled with injuries and was unable to perform as well as the season previous. Although he still managed 1 goal and 7 assists in 35 games and he also became the vice-captain in January 2022 after Barrow's departure. Once the 22/23 started, it was obvious that Olley was not looking to be a key player anymore. After playing 14 games and scoring from the spot, he was sold to Gainsborough in the Vanarama North League for £150,000. He left the club as the most appeared player (in the Ireland era) with 179 games and a player of the season award to his name.
