Position: Striker

Mells signed a new contract for North End in September 2008, and after an injury-interrupted first season, relegation-threatened second and promotion-missing third, he will be hoping that his new four year deal will include the long-waited for Premiership elevation.

Famous strikes for Liverpool have been followed by a series of clinical finishes and pacy displays for Alan Irvine's PNE and he has linked up well with fellow frontmen Chris Brown, Jon Parkin and Stephen Elliott.

The Sheffield-born striker made his first mark on the game as a fresh-faced rookie striker for the red half of Merseyside, grabbing memorable goals for the Reds.

Mellor's most famous strikes for Liverpool came against Olympiakos in the year that the Reds won the Champions League trophy and a last minute winner against Arsenal. Those goals proved to be the striker's highlights at Anfield and after surgery on both knees he was loaned out to West Ham and Wigan.

Further injury problems hampered his time on loan and in the summer of 2006 he was signed by North End boss Paul Simpson on a three-year-deal.

The striker was limited to just seven appearances in his first full season for the Lilywhites but was the Club's top scorer as Alan Irvine's side battled against relegation in the 2007/08 campaign. His excellent solo effort against Sheffield United was the pick of the bunch, and was later nominated for the North West goal of the season award.

Mellor has continued his good form since and was top scorer again for PNE last season with 12 goals, including the headed effort at Bloomfield Road which sent North End on the way to the famous 3-1 win over old rivals Blackpool.
