Career

Saunders joined local club Barnard Castle at the age of 6 or 7, leaving at under-14s after the club folded.[2] He occasionally played rugby for a local club and then began working full-time in an Indian restaurant.[2] The restaurant entered a team into a football competition, which they won.[2] Saunders then began playing Sunday League football, before signing for Darlington Railway Athletic, initially at under-18 level but then for the senior team.[2] He then played for Bishop Auckland and Durham City.[2] He then signed for Darlington, making his debut in January 2017.[3] Whilst at Darlington he had loan spells at Ryhope Colliery Welfare and Dunston UTS.[2] In total he scored 11 goals in 66 league games for Darlington.[4]

He signed for Fleetwood Town in January 2019 for an undisclosed fee, on a ​2 1⁄2-year contract, and was immediately loaned back to Darlington.[5][6]

He made his first-team debut for Fleetwood on 3 September 2019 in the EFL Trophy.[7]

gollark: I really should have a procedure for that. It would probably be doable easily enough using a cryptographic key saved somewhere, except there may be future discoveries affecting the security of that.
