Departed club
Greg Olley
Gateshead FC regrets to confirm the departure of club captain Greg Olley, after a contract extension was unable to be agreed between both parties. Olley departs having played an integral role at the club since his arrival in July 2018, going on to make 220 appearances and score 41 goals across his almost seven-year spell in black and white.
Olley made history on multiple occasions as a Gateshead player, winning the club’s first league title since 1986 by lifting the 2021/22 Vanarama National League North title, before captaining The Heed twice at Wembley Stadium in consecutive Isuzu FA Trophy finals in 2023 and 2024, with the 2024 FA Trophy final victory seeing him become the first player in Gateshead history to win the competition.

“We have seen some excellent players come and go, not least of which in Greg,” said Chairman, Bernard McWilliams.
“Albeit late, an extension to his contract has not been able to be agreed. He will be a big miss at the club, and we thank him for his service and wish him all the best for the future.”
Released

Gateshead FC wishes to place on record its thanks to Tom, Jamie and Jean for their efforts during their time with the club, and wish them the best of luck in the future.
