We are delighted to confirm the return of Daniel Ord to Ryton & Crawcrook Albion ahead of the 2025/26 season.

A versatile and natural leader, Dan rejoins the club following spells with Jarrow and newly-promoted Newbiggin.

Manager Nathan Beckham said: “Dan is a great character and a very good player — someone we identified toward the back end of last season.

“Already, you can see what Ordy brings to the group. It’s exactly what we felt was missing last year — personality, leadership, and a real hunger to succeed.

“He’s come back to the club with the right attitude and a clear desire to do well. He plays for the right reasons.

“Another excellent addition both on the pitch and in the dressing room.”

Welcome back, Dan!
