Southport

Despite playing several times for Barnsley in pre-season in 2015, he again went out on loan to Southport on 11 August 2015. [8] He made his debut for Southport the same day, playing the full 90 minutes in their 0–0 draw with Macclesfield. His first goal for the club came in a 2–2 home draw against Tranmere Rovers on 15 September 2015.

Mike made his Salford debut on the opening day of the 2016-2017 when Gloucester visited Moor Lane, The Ammies' first ever National League North fixture would finish 0-0 but 'Pheno' was soon on the goal trail. He scored in each of the next five matches, including a winner against local rivals FC United of Manchester. Sixteen goals were recorded over a campaign that ended in play-off disappointment but he had the consolation of finishing as the club's top scorer. He made a vital contribution during the 2017-2018 title winning season too, notching eleven times.
