Tadcaster bring in new forward

As a youth player, Crofts turned out for Barnsley, Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United.

He signed his first professional contract with the Blades at the age of 17 before going on to play for their U18s and U21s.

Crofts then enlisted in a four-year course at the University of Virginia, where he graduated with a degree in African and American Studies and represented their very successful football team, the Virginia Cavaliers.

He returned to England in January 2022 and spent some time with Stocksbridge Park Steels before signing for the Lions in July.

He is capable of playing on either flank and will add some versatility to Albion’s options in the final third.

The club have also announced that Crofts' Guiseley team-mate Lewis Hey will remain at the club until the end of January.

The 19-year-old midfielder made his debut for the club against Carlton town at the beginning of October and has gone on to make four more appearances in the league.
