Tranmere Rovers have confirmed that club captain Steve McNulty will be leaving Prenton Park when his contract expires at the end of the month.
The burly 35-year-old made 28 appearances for the Super White Army this season, helping them to a Wembley play-off final victory against Newport County. He joined from Luton Town in 2015 following their relegation to the National League, having previously been a winner with the Hatters.
McNulty, who began his career with Vauxhall Motors, captured the admiration of Tranmere fans for his all action displays and his robust build. He’s a strong, determined character who makes up for a lack of pace with good positional awareness and a strong aerial presence.
He was part of the Fleetwood side that went from the National League North to the Football League, making him a three-time promotion winner from the fifth tier, as well as now adding a Football League promotion to his list of achievements.
He’ll now seek out a new challenge, but seems to be leaving Prenton Park with lots of positive messages from their supporters.

At a time when we were in free fall and needed a leader, Steve came in a steadied the ship and provided the foundation for a good finish to the season, then 3 trips to Wembley. Thank you 👏

Steeeeeeeeeeve! What a way to bow out lifting back to back trophies. Coming off the bench and winning 12/12 headers including the last free kick of the game! Thanks Steve

Cult hero and a Tranmere legend. Opposition fans laughed at your size but you laughed back with the clean sheet. The warrior, leader and calmness at the back. You fought us out of non league. All the best!!

Thanks for the memories Macca. You was exactly what we needed when you came in, a leader who lead by example and everyone else followed. What a way to go out. TRFC legend that's for sure 👏 #SWA
