Nick Haughton joined the club in October 2018 on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee from Salford City and has become a huge fan favourite during his time at Mill Farm.

The creative midfielder kick-started his career when he joined Fleetwood Town in 2014, making 40 appearances with the Cod Army before enjoying loan spells at Nantwich Town and Salford City.

Haughton was ever-present in the Coasters side that lifted the FA Trophy, even picking up the Man of the Match award at Wembley Stadium against Leyton Orient.

The creative midfielder finished as AFC Fylde’s top goalscorer following the conclusion of the 2021/22 National League North season.
