Club career

[edit | edit source]

Born in Dublin, County Dublin, Graydon was a member of the Home Farm youth system before joining English club Sunderland on a professional contract on 28 February 2000.[1][2] He joined Third Division side York City on a one-month loan on 27 March 2003.[3][4] His debut came on 29 March 2003 after starting York's 2–0 defeat at home to Southend United.[5] In the following game, a 2–2 home draw with Rochdale on 12 April 2003, Graydon scored his first and only goal for York with a 35th minute penalty kick.[5] Graydon finished the loan spell at York with one goal in seven appearances, and in May 2003 he was released from his Sunderland contract.[5][6]

Graydon went on trial with Football Conference side Scarborough before signing on non-contract terms on 25 September 2003.[7] He signed a contract for the rest of the 2003–04 season the following month and made his debut for the club as an 82nd-minute substitute in a 2–1 home win over Port Vale in the Football League Trophy on 14 October 2003.[8][9][10] Having made four appearances for Scarborough, Graydon signed for Northern Premier League Premier Division outfit Blyth Spartans on 29 March 2004.[9][11] He left for league rivals Spennymoor United in September 2004.[12]

Having joined Washington Nissan in April 2005, Graydon signed for Dunston Federation in July.[13][14] He signed for Northern Premier League Premier Division club Gateshead in October 2005, making his debut on 22 October in a 3–2 home win over Ashton United.[15][16] He finished the 2005–06 season with 24 appearances before leaving Gateshead for Durham City in the summer of 2006.[16][17] He scored seven Northern League Division One goals in the 2007–08 season before joining Sunderland RCA in the summer of 2008, where he was made captain.[18][19]

Graydon signed for Sunderland RCA's Northern League rivals Jarrow Roofing in October 2008.[20] However, during the following month he signed for Northern Premier League Division One North outfit Newcastle Blue Star.[21] Graydon re-signed for Durham in March 2009, with manager Lee Collings praising his impact at the club, saying "We've hopefully come out of a little blip and re-signing Keith Graydon has made a big difference. He ran the show against Radcliffe".[22] He left for Spennymoor Town in the summer of 2009 and scored 12 goals in the Northern League Division One in the 2009–10 season.[23][24] Graydon scored the winning goal for Spennymoor in the 2013 FA Vase Final at Wembley Stadium on 4 May 2013 with a powerful shot from eight yards 10 minutes from full-time, as the side beat Tunbridge Wells 2–1.[25] In November 2014 he signed for Morpeth Town,[26] who he captained to another FA Vase win in 2015–16.[27]
