Ryton & Crawcrook Albion are delighted to announce the signings of Jack Cooper and Damien Stevens for next season.

Attacking midfielder Cooper returns to Kingsley Park for a second spell after scoring 19 goals in 32 appearances in 2019 before joining Newcastle Benfield.

Forward Stevens – a proven goalscorer in the Northern League – played for Bishop Auckland and Whickham last year, and he also had a previous stint at Marske United.

The capture of both players further strengthens Daniel Iredale’s squad ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.
