Career

Sunderland

Proctor made his debut for Sunderland against Everton in the League Cup on 11 November 1998, which finished as a 1–1 draw.[1] He was loaned to Danish side Hvidovre in 2000 to recuperate from a cruciate ligament injury.[2][3] He joined Halifax Town on loan in March 2001, making his debut against Cheltenham Town, in which he scored in a 4–2 win.[4] He finished this loan spell with four goals in 12 appearances.[2] He played at York City on loan during the 2001–02 season, making his debut in a 1–0 defeat against Rushden & Diamonds.[5] He finished this spell with 49 appearances and 14 goals, making him York's top scorer for the season.[6] He joined Bradford City on loan in August 2002.[7] He scored the winning goal on his debut as Bradford defeated Ipswich Town 2–1,[8] and became a favourite among fans,[9] players,[10] and the board.[11] He scored a total of four goals in 12 games during his two-month spell, including a late equaliser as nine-man City drew 2–2 with Burnley,[12] but he returned to Sunderland when manager Howard Wilkinson blocked another month's extension to the loan.[13]

He scored the winner for Sunderland in their 2–1 win over Liverpool on 15 December 2002.[14] One unfortunate claim to fame occurred whilst playing for Sunderland in 2003, in a 3–1 defeat to Charlton Athletic, where Proctor scored twice at the wrong end, with Stephen Wright scoring the other, also an own goal, and all three within just eight minutes.[15]

Rotherham United and Hartlepool United

Proctor left Sunderland in February 2004, joining Rotherham United in a swap deal for Darren Byfield.[16] He joined Swindon Town on a month's loan loan deal in February 2005.[17] Rotherham could not afford to extend his loan at the club and he returned to Rotherham in March.[18] He later moved to Hartlepool United on a free transfer in July 2005.[19] He was best remembered by Hartlepool fans for scoring twice in a 3–1 over local rivals Darlington in a Coca-Cola Cup tie early in his Pools' career.[20] He played just 32 games in two seasons for Hartlepool, scoring ten goals, before he was one of ten players released by Danny Wilson.[20]

Wrexham

Proctor joined League Two club Wrexham on a month's loan in March 2007.[21] This loan was extended until the end of the 2006–07 season in April.[22] During this spell he scored two vital goals for Wrexham in their eventually successful survival bid. These were the winning goal in the 1–0 victory at local rivals Shrewsbury Town and the third goal in the Welsh club's 3–1 victory over Boston United which preserved the club's Football League status. He was released by Hartlepool in May 2007 and expressed an interest in joining Wrexham permanently.[23][24] This move was confirmed in May 2007.[25] He was transfer listed by Wrexham in May 2008 following the club's relegation to the Football Conference,[26] despite finishing the season as the club's top scorer with 12 goals.[27]

In the summer of 2009 after talks with manager Dean Saunders, Michael left the club by mutual consent. Rumours of a move back to his native North East with Gateshead came to nothing, and its thought that he is now looking at a career away from the Professional game.
