Dominic Michael McHale (born 18 February 1996) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Northern Premier League Division One West club Hednesford Town. [9]
McHale came through the Manchester City Academy before joining Barnsley on an 18-month contract in February 2014 after leaving City by mutual consent. [10]
He joined Northwich Flixton Villa for a spell during the 2014–15 festive season. [11]
He then joined Ramsbottom United in July 2015, having been released by Barnsley. [12] The following month he was sent off for his part in a mass 22-man fight in a match against Buxton. [13] In November he signed for Northwich Victoria, [14] before moving to Northwich Manchester Villa during the 2015–16 festive period. [15]
At the beginning of the 2016–17 season he appeared at least once for AFC Fylde's reserve team. [16] He also played for Achyronas Liopetriou during the 2016–17 Cypriot Third Division season. [17]
After playing on trial for Salford City he signed for the club in August 2017 and made his debut as a late substitute in a league match against Stockport County on 15 August. [18] In February 2018 he joined Trafford on loan, [19] before the following month moving, again on loan, to Hyde United, [20] for whom he played six league matches. [21]
After leaving Salford he joined Ashton United in August 2018. [22] In March 2019 he joined FC United of Manchester, [23] and left the following month. [24]
On 30 August 2019 he joined League Two team Oldham Athletic having trained with them over the summer period. [25] He made one brief appearance in the Football League, as a very late substitute in a 2–2 draw away to Plymouth Argyle on 7 September, [2] and after three months, his contract was terminated by mutual consent. [26] He joined Romford, [27] but left again in January 2020. [28]
In March 2020 he rejoined Ashton United, [29] and later that year signed for National League North club AFC Telford United. [30] On 25 March 2022, McHale joined another National League North club, Darlington, on loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season, [31] at the end of which he was released by his parent club. [32]
McHale signed for Radcliffe of the Northern Premier League Premier Division ahead of the 2022–23 season, [33] and played three times before signing on loan for divisional rivals Matlock Town in September 2022. [34] After a month, during which he made five league appearances, [35] McHale returned to the National League North on a one-month loan at Gloucester City. [36] He scored twice on debut as his new side beat Farsley Celtic 5–1. [37] On 25 November 2022, McHale terminated his contract at Radcliffe by mutual consent, [38] signing permanently for Gloucester City the following day on a deal until the end of the season. [39] Four goals and four assists during January 2023 earned him the National League North Player of the Month award, [40] and he finished the season with 12 goals from 28 league matches. [2]
McHale joined another National North club, Brackley Town, ahead of the 2023–24 season. [41] He made 18 league appearances without scoring before his contract was terminated by mutual consent on 5 January 2024.

[44]
