The 2024–25 season is the 130th in Oldham Athletic's history,[1] and the club's third season since dropping out of the Football League. The club is competing in the National League,[2] the FA Cup and the FA Trophy.[3]

Pre-season

[edit]

Within four days of the 2023–24 season concluding, Oldham announced that nineteen of the players contracted for the previous season remained in contract but that fourteen players were out of contract and three players who had ended the 2023–24 season on loan would return to their parent clubs.[4]

The first pre-season changes took place off the pitch, with Academy Manager and First Team Coach Paul Murray leaving the club by mutual consent,[5] Peter Norbury deciding to step down as a Director[6] and Goalkeeping Coach Steve Collis leaving to join Notts County.[7]

On the pitch, Micky Mellon had ended the previous season by claiming that his squad needed "major surgery".[8] He began to reshape his squad by announcing the signing of defender Reagan Ogle[9] and allowing Mark Shelton,[10] Nathan Sheron[11] and Joe Nuttall[12] to leave the club, the latter on a season long loan to Altrincham.
