Paul Dudgeon joins Spartans

Thursday, 11 December 2025

We are pleased to announce the signing of Paul Dudgeon, following his departure from Newcastle Blue Star.

The 21-year-old midfielder is a former Blyth Spartans Academy captain, where he scored an impressive 41 goals from midfield during his time in our youth set-up. Dudgeon also played a key role in Newcastle Blue Star's successful campaign last season, scoring seven goals in 31 starts during their run to the play-off final.

First-Team Manager Marc Nash expressed his delight at his new addition:

'Dudge' is a player I know and trust and I know what he can bring to the squad. He's a very bright footballer who takes up great areas on the pitch and has a knack of arriving late into the box from midfield which gives us further attacking threat. He's spent three years in our academy and I've seen first hand how passionate he is about the club and will give everything for the badge which is a minimum requirement given the position we are currently in.

It's great to have you at Croft Park, Dudge!
