Farnham Town midfielder Mat Mackenzie has signed a new contract with the club that runs until the summer of 2028.

The 24-year-old midfielder joined the Town in the summer of 2025 from Hanwell Town and soon cemented himself as a key player at The Memorial Ground.

Mackenzie started 35 of the 38 Southern League Premier South fixtures he was available for last season, including Farnham’s play-off semi-final and final victories which earned the Town a place in the National League South.

Over the summer Mackenzie underwent shoulder surgery that delayed his start to this campaign, but has since appeared in all 15 games following his season debut in the 2-1 win away at Horsham.

Goals in the draw at Hemel Hempstead in September and the win at Chesham United last month take Mackenzie’s tally to nine for the club in 62 Farnham Town appearances.

“Mat has been one of our standout performers over the past 18 months since he arrived at the club,” said Farnham Town chairman Harry Hugo.

“He was a virtual ever-present last season. We felt Mat’s absence in the opening weeks of the campaign as he was recovering from surgery, but now he’s playing probably the best football of his career right now at the toughest level he’s competed at.

“These past few weeks in particular, the work Mat does in the midfield gets overshadowed by the attackers making all the headlines, but without the work he’s doing in the middle – alongside the likes of Jack Spong, Josh Tobin and Billy Clifford in there – we wouldn’t be able to play as fast and freely as we do in the final third.

“At 24, Mat’s still an improving player and a big asset for the football club.

“It was a top priority for us to get him tied down to fresh terms and I’m delighted that we’ve been able to do so, as Mat will continue to be a central player for us for the foreseeable future.”
