Paul Heckingbottom (born 17 July 1977 in Barnsley, South Yorkshire) is an English former footballer. He is currently in his second stint as Caretaker Manager at Barnsley having stepped up from his role as Development Squad Manager.

Career

Early career

Heckingbotham was born in Barnsley and grew up in nearby Royston. As a child, he was a season ticket holder at the town's football club, along with his grandfather.[1] He started his football career at Manchester United as a trainee, but joined Sunderland in 1996 after failing to gain a professional contract. He had loan spells at Scarborough, Hartlepool United and Darlington, without featuring for Sunderland, before joining Darlington permanently in 1999. He made 126 appearances, scoring 6 goals, before catching the attention of First Division side Norwich City, who signed him in 2002 on a three-year contract.[2]

Heckingbottom made just 16 appearances for Norwich, including only 7 starts, resulting in him cancelling his contract with the club by mutual consent after one year.[3] He subsequently signed for Bradford City in July 2003, where he was named their Player of the Year at the end of his first season.[4] Bradford, however, were relegated to League One at the end of the 2003–04 season, and Heckingbottom left to join Sheffield Wednesday during the close-season.[5]

Sheffield Wednesday

Heckingbottom was well favoured under both Wednesday managers Chris Turner and Paul Sturrock, making a total of 41 appearances at left back in his first season – more than any other player that year. He also scored four goals, helping The Owls to promotion to the Championship via the League One play-off final at the end of the 2004–05 season. Due to an injury sustained in pre-season he was put out of contention for the first 16 games of the 2005–06 season. When he returned to fitness, new signing John Hills had begun to make the left back spot his own. An injury to Hills left Heckingbottom able to re-stake his claim on the team, but he only managed a 4-game streak before once again succumbing to injury, this time Peter Gilbert taking his place in the squad. Sturrock allowed Heckingbottom a chance to prove himself in an FA Cup Third Round game against Charlton Athletic. He scored both of Wednesday's goals in the 4–2 defeat at Hillsborough, though this was not enough to establish himself as the club's first choice left back.

Barnsley

On 13 January 2006, Heckingbottom was sent on loan, with a view to a permanent move, to his boyhood club Barnsley.[6] He played an important part in the club's promotion campaign and win over Swansea City in the League One play-off final, scoring in the 4–3 penalty shootout victory that secured their promotion to the Championship. Heckingbottom played in 31 games for Barnsley the next season, as The Tykes comfortably avoided relegation. He scored once during his spell at Barnsley, in a 1–0 win over Tranmere Rovers on 18 February 2006.[7]

Bradford City

In July 2007, Heckingbottom returned to Bradford City on loan until 1 January 2008.[8] He played in all 23 league games during his loan spell, missing only an FA Cup tie against Tranmere Rovers after he was suspended following a red card in a 1–1 draw with Stockport County.[4][9] A week after his loan deal expired, his contract at Barnsley was cancelled by mutual consent and he signed a permanent 18-month deal at Bradford.[10] He missed his first league game of the 2007–08 season with four games left, when an ankle injury prevented him for playing against Brentford on 12 April 2008. Heckingbottom's place was taken by Luke O'Brien, who made his Bradford debut, in a 2–2 draw.[11][12]

He played in the club's first nine league games of the 2008–09 season, but was sent off in a 1–1 draw with Luton Town for two bookable offences.[13] His place was again taken by youngster O'Brien, and although Heckingbottom returned for an FA Cup game against Milton Keynes Dons, he suffered a tendonitis injury, which kept him out for five months.[14][15]

Bradford opted against offering Heckingbottom a contract extension, and he left the club in May 2009.[16]

Mansfield Town

Heckingbottom signed for Conference National side Mansfield Town on 2 June 2009, marking his first foray into the game outside of The Football League.[17] He sustained a hamstring injury in pre-season and did not play until October, in a 1–0 win over Forest Green Rovers, 11 months from when he last played a game of football.[18][19] He has since become a regular in the Mansfield line-up.[14] He scored his first and only Mansfield goal against Crawley Town on 14 November 2009.[20] On 1 February 2010, Heckingbottom joined Gateshead on loan until the end of the season.[21] making his debut on 13 February away at Hayes & Yeading United.

Gateshead

Heckingbottom signed for Gateshead on a permanent basis on 26 May 2010.[22] He made 22 appearances in all competitions during the 2010–11 season before he was released on 4 May 2011.[23]

Coaching career

Barnsley

Heckingbottom is currently the caretaker manager at Barnsley after the departure of Lee Johnson to Bristol City. This is his second stint as caretaker after previously taking charge after Danny Wilson was sacked by the club in 2015. During this spell, he guided Barnsley to the Football League Trophy final, beating Oxford United 3-2 at Wembley to be crowned winners and later to beating Millwall 3-1 in the League One play-off final the same season. His success as caretaker after leading Barnsley to winning the club's first cup final since 1912 as well promotion to the championship has led to him being tipped to be appointed permanent manager.[24][25]
