Early life

Macaulay Kevin Langstaff[3] was born on 3 February 1997 in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham.[4] He often attended Middlesbrough games as a child, and played for Marton FC.[2]

Career

Early career

When he was 10, Langstaff joined the academy of Middlesbrough, where he played until he was 13.[2] He played for the Boro Rangers for the next four years, before signing for Wearside Football League club Stockton Town in 2014. He moved up to Stockton's first team later that season, as they won the Shipowners' Cup for the first time.[5]

In 2015, while in college, he started playing for Billingham Synthonia.[2][5] After scoring 31 in goals in 65 appearances in all competitions,[6] he took on a local agent and signed his first professional contract with Gateshead in February 2017.[7] He made five appearances before being loaned back to Billingham and to Blyth Spartans.[8]

In 2018, he moved to York City, where he played for two years.[9] In 2020, he returned to Gateshead for another two seasons. In his first season, he scored four goals in 16 appearances. In the 2021–22 season, he scored 32 goals across all competitions, leading the league, and was named Player of the Season.[10] He was also named in the league's Team of the Year.[10] Gateshead earned promotion to the National League that season as champions.[11]

Notts County

In 2022, Langstaff joined Notts County on a three-year contract for a transfer fee of £50,000.[12] In October, he became the first player to win back-to-back National League Player of the month awards.[8] By mid-October he had scored 15 goals in 13 games and was being compared to Erling Haaland, as they vied to be the top scorer in the top five leagues.[7][13][14] On 7 April 2023, he scored his 41st goal in 41 league games, none of them penalties.[15][16] This set a new County club record, and the National League division record, for league goals in a season.[17][18] At the end of the 2022–23 season, Langstaff was voted as the Notts County Fans' and Players' Player of the Season.[19] He played in County's 2–2 extra-time draw with Chesterfield on 13 May at Wembley Stadium in the 2023 National League play-off final, with County winning the ensuing penalty shoot-out 4–3 to earn promotion to League Two.[20] Langstaff converted his kick during the shootout.[21]

On 7 August 2023, after fielding offers from teams in higher leagues,[22] Langstaff signed a new contract with Notts County, contracting him to the club until the end of the 2026–27 season.[23] He indicated appreciation for the team's cohesion and coaching, and the chance to play with teammates like David McGoldrick.[24]
