Matthew Heywood Biography
Matthew Heywood is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on August 26, 1979 in Chatham Borough, New Jersey, United States. In a one-month loan agreement, he joined Brentford on the 27th of July 2006. After John Mackie’s departure, the transfer was made permanent. He became club captain in January 2008. Brentford was struggling under Leroy Rosenior’s management and he was eventually fired. Scott Fitzgerald and later Barry Quinn replaced him. After finishing last in the league, Heywood and his club lost their League One status. Heywood was relegated for the first time in his life. The 2007-2008 season saw Brentford finish 14th in League Two, Heywood taking home the “Supporters player of the Season” award.
On 11 October 2010, Heywood was released from the club having failed to make a single appearance for them. Heywood signed for Buxton on 25 October 2010, after 9 appearances during the 2010–11 season he left the club in May 2011.
Heywood began training with Mansfield Town on 15 February. He did not sign for them, however, and remained a free agent until July 2010, when he signed for Barrow.
Heywood was a free transfer to League One rivals Bristol City in the summer 2005. Brian Tinnion signed Heywood, but he was quickly sacked and was replaced by Gary Johnson. Heywood was initially one of the Ashton Gate’s first choice defenders, but he fell out of contention due to injury. City released Heywood at the end of the 2005-2006 season.
He began his career as a Burnley trainee and signed professional terms in 1997. After failing to make it to the first team, he moved to Swindon Town in 2001. He became a well-respected centre half for four more years before moving to Bristol City in 2005. He joined Brentford a year later. In 2008, after his last season at the club, he won the supporters player award for the 2007-08 seasons. After leaving Grimsby Town, he joined Barrow on a temporary deal. After a six-month stint at Buxton, he finished his non-League football career.
On 25 June 2008, Heywood turned down a fresh contract at Griffin Park, and signed a two-year contract with Grimsby Town. He was named Grimsby’s club captain for the 2008–09 season by his new manager Alan Buckley, but the Mariners began to struggle in the league, and Buckley was dismissed early on into the new campaign. Following increasingly worrying poor performances from Heywood, Buckley’s replacement as manager, Mike Newell opted to re-sign former Grimsby centre back Rob Atkinson to replace Matt in defence. The club captaincy was also given to youngster Ryan Bennett. Heywood would only make 18 appearances for Grimsby in his first season and spent a good chunk of that sat on the substitutes bench. During the 2009–10 season, Heywood continued to struggle in the sense of finding any way into the first-team, and failed to even make the bench on a regular basis, even under the club’s new manager Neil Woods. On 13 January 2010, Woods told Heywood, along with Danny Boshell, Barry Conlon and Jamie Clarke that they were free to leave the club in the January transfer window, this following Heywood only featuring once in the season, playing in a 4–0 away defeat against Port Vale in September 2009. On 1 February 2010, Heywood along with Clarke and Boshell were released from the club.
