a phone call from his former teammate, the Port Vale manager Martin Foyle, inviting him back to the club as cover for long-term injury victim Mark Goodlad. In June 2007, he joined Harrogate Town of the Conference North. Musselwhite left Harrogate in January 2008 after being offered a better contract with Ian Bogie's Gateshead, playing in the Northern Premier League Premier Division. He was immediately made the number one goalkeeper, helping them to promotion by beating Buxton in the play-off final. He had made 29 appearances before the season's end. Gateshead won their second successive promotion in 2008–09, beating AFC Telford United 1–0 in the Conference North play-off final. Coaching and managerial career In February 2009, it was announced that Musselwhite would join League Two club Lincoln City as player-goalkeeping coach under Peter Jackson at the end of the season. On 1 April 2010, he signed a new contract that would keep him at the club until the summer of 2011. On 29 September 2010, Musselwhite was appointed assistant to caretaker manager Scott Lindsey following Chris Sutton's resignation. On 2 October, Musselwhite, at the age of 41, took to the field in a 1–0 defeat away to Southend United, following an injury to Joe Anyon. After a new contract offer from Lincoln was dependent on Joe Anyon leaving the club, Musselwhite opted to sign for Conference Premier club York City on 16 June 2011 as player-goalkeeping coach. At the age of 43, Musselwhite became York's oldest player when making his debut in a 1–0 away win over Cambridge United on 17 April 2012. He followed this up with another clean sheet in a 1–0 victory away to Braintree Town on 21 April 2012, a result that ensured York's place in the play-offs. He was an unused substitute in the 2012 FA Trophy Final at Wembley Stadium, where York beat Newport County 2–0. He was also an unused substitute in the 2012 Conference Premier play-off Final, as York came from behind to beat Luton Town 2–1, again at Wembley. Musselwhite left York on 4 March 2013, two days after Gary Mills was dismissed as manager. Musselwhite finished 2012–13 as goalkeeping coach at League One club Bury, before taking the same position at one of his former clubs, newly relegated League Two club Scunthorpe United, in June 2013. He took over as caretaker manager at Scunthorpe alongside Tony McMahon on 1 November
