Career

Oldham Athletic

Mellor joined Oldham Athletic as sixteen-year-old from Manchester United.[3] However, Mellor suffered a knee injury, but was given a full time two-year scholarships, having initially joined the club on a non-contract basis.[4] After spending time in Oldham's youth team he made his competitive debut during the second match of the 2011–12 season, as a substitute in a Football League Cup match against Carlisle United.[5] He scored sixteen minutes into his Football League debut on 16 August in a match against Scunthorpe.[6]

On 28 August 2011 The People reported that Premier League Fulham manager Martin Jol was preparing a bid for teenager Mellor after scouts were impressed with his strength and maturity.[7] Nothing came of this report however, and he remained at Oldham by signing his first professional contract with the club, keeping him until 2013.[8] In October 2011, Oldham Athletic rejected a bid for Mellor from an un-named club, which the club's captain Dean Furman was urgent for Mellor to stay at the club.[9][10] However, Mellor's form at Oldham Athletic soon slumped because of family reasons and his own injury concern, though Mellor made his return to the first team against Carlisle United on the final game of the season.[11][12] Despite the issues, Mellor made 21 appearances at the end of the season.

However, Mellor soon lost his first team place to Jonathan Grounds at the start of the 2012–13 season[13] and in October 2012 he joined Chorley on loan for a one-month period[14] and made his club debut on 16 October in a Northern Premier League match against AFC Fylde.[15] Just nine appearance for Chorley, Mellor returned to his parent club on 19 November 2012.[16] After his return, Mellor made his first appearance of the season on 19 January 2013, in a 2–1 loss against Coventry City.[17] After making three appearance playing as a centre-midfielder against Bury, Yeovil Town and Crawley Town,[18] Mellor signed a twelve month contract with the club.[19] Mellor stated he signed a contract with the club, citing Manager Lee Johnson gave him confidence in the first team.[18]

At the start of the 2013–14 season, Mellor made two starts for the first two matches before suffering a hamstring against Walsall, though it was not serious.[20] Mellor made his first team on 14 September 2013, against Rotherham United, only to be sent-off in the 41st minutes, in a 3–2 loss.[21] After serving three match ban,[22] Mellor made his return, coming on as a substitute for Joseph Mills in the 62nd minutes, in a 2–0 loss against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 22 October 2013.[23] Mellor would be often used in first team ins and out throughout the second half of the season before a knee injury kept him sidelined throughout the season.[24] Despite making twenty appearance in the 2013–14 season, the one-year option that the club had on Mellor's contract was exercised, extending his contract till the end of the 2014–15 season.[25]

In the 2014–15 season, Mellor joined Alfreton Town for a one month loan on 17 September 2014.[26] Mellor made his Alfreton Town debut, in a 3–2 win over Telford United on 16 September 2014.[27] Mellor scored his first Alfreton Town in three years, in a 1–0 win over Nuneaton Town on 20 September 2014.[28] After scoring once in seven starts, Mellor made his return to his parent club on 21 October 2014.[29] After making his return to his parent club, Mellor made his Oldham Athletic debut, coming on as a substitute for Carl Winchester in the 78th minutes, in a 2–2 draw against Doncaster Rovers on 10 January 2015.[30] Mellor made another appearance on 25 April 2015, making his first start of the season in a 2–0 loss against Walsall.[31]

With Mellor only featuring twice all season for Oldham Athletic and seemingly falling out of favour, he joined Halifax Town on Deadline Day, 2 February 2015 on loan until the end of the season.[32] However, just only appearance for Halifax Tow, Mellor's loan spell at the club was terminated.[33] At the end of the 2014–15 season, Mellor was among five players to had been released by the club.[34]
