Matthew "Matty" Wolfenden (born 23 July 1987) is an English footballer currently playing for FC United of Manchester. Wolfenden started out at Oldham Athletic, his hometown club, before moving to Wales to play for Wrexham in the summer of 2009.
As a child, Wolfenden attended his hometown school and one of the best schools in the area, the Blue Coat School in Oldham.
Born in Oldham, Greater Manchester, Wolfenden was a product of the Oldham Athletic youth system, having been with the club since the age of 9, Wolfenden made his first team appearance as a late substitute during a 1–0 defeat to Swindon Town in the then Second Division on 15 November 2003, making him the second youngest player to ever play for the Latics at the age of 16 years and 115 days. His first senior goal for the club came nearly four years later when he scored in the second leg of a play-off semi-final defeat to Blackpool on 19 May 2007. He was released from Boundary Park on 20 July 2009.
Following his release, Wolfenden signed for Football Conference side Wrexham, after impressing in pre-season friendlies against Preston North End and Carlton Town. He made his debut for the club on 8 August 2009 in a 3–0 win over Eastbourne Borough on the opening day of the 2009–10 season. He went on to make 15 league appearances before being released at the end of the season.
On 31 October 2010 Wolfenden signed for Northern Premier League Premier Division outfit F.C. United of Manchester after being released from Wrexham earlier that year. He made his debut for FC United in a 2–1 FA Trophy win over Colwyn Bay at Gigg Lane.
