Mellish

I think he was put there initially and that led him to being on the release list before being reinvented as an attacking mid fielder. That worked fine when we were playing a high pressing game with 20 + shots on target as he is always thereabouts to pounce on rebounds. Sadly, he does not have the skills to be a mid fielder per se as he is slow and cannot trap the ball & he shoud be no where near our penalty box. I think he is Conference level at best.

"Carlisle United have confirmed the signing of Gateshead defender Jon Mellish on a one-year-contract.
The left-footed centre-back, who can play a number of roles, made his first-team debut in the final game of the 2016/17 National League season and was subsequently offered a full contract with the club.
The young defender made a total of 58 appearances for his hometown team, scoring twice, and made his debut for the England C squad in a 1-0 victory over the Estonia under-23 side in October 2018.
His superb performances in the Heed’s back line last season saw him awarded Young Player of the Year at our annual National Game Awards at Stamford Bridge yesterday."
