Michael Bernard Raynes (born 15 October 1987) is an English former professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Stockport Town.
Born in Wythenshawe, Greater Manchester, Raynes began his career as a trainee at Stockport County.[1] He made his debut in a 2–1 FA Cup second round replay defeat at Swansea City in December 2004, two months after his 17th birthday, and became a regular in the first team during the second half of the 2004–05 season.[2] By the end of the 2007–08 season, he had made over 90 league and cup appearances for Stockport.[3] He signed a new contract in January 2008, keeping him at Stockport until 2010.[4]
He signed a -year contract with Scunthorpe United on 1 February 2010, for an undisclosed fee.[5]
He joined Rotherham United but was transfer-listed by the club in May 2012,[6] and left by mutual consent later in the same month.[7]
He signed a contract with Oxford United on 11 July 2012.[8]
At the end of 2014–15 season Raynes was released by Mansfield Town after only making a handful of appearances for the club since joining in January 2015.[9] However, he was not a free agent for long as on 20 May 2015 Raynes was signed by Carlisle United by manager Keith Curle on a one-year contract.[10] Raynes smashed home a brace in a 3–2 home victory against League Two strugglers Yeovil Town in October.
In May 2017, he signed a two-year contract with Crewe Alexandra, after turning down a new offer at Brunton Park.[11] Playing against Carlisle on 23 September 2017, Raynes gave away a penalty and scored an own goal as his former team won 5–0.[12] On 17 October 2017, he scored his first goal for Crewe, at Gresty Road against Notts County,[13] but was sent off in his next game, a defeat by Accrington Stanley.[14]
In January 2019, after just six first-team appearances in his second season for Crewe, he was signed on loan by Hartlepool United until the end of the season.[15] Raynes made just three appearances after Hartlepool after succumbing to injury following a 1–1 draw with Leyton Orient on 9 February 2019. At the end of the 2018–19 season, Raynes was released by Crewe,[16] and having done enough to impress in his brief loan spell, signed for Hartlepool on a permanent basis on 23 May 2019.[17] Raynes was released at the end of the 2019–20 season.[18]
He graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University in July 2016 with a bachelor's degree in Sports Science.
