Ryton & Crawcrook Albion are delighted to confirm the signing of George Hayton ahead of the 2025/26 season.

The commanding defender arrives from fellow Northern League Division Two side Jarrow, bringing leadership, experience, and quality to our back line.

Manager Nathan Beckham shared his thoughts: “George is a player I’ve been keen to bring in for a couple of seasons now.

“He’s a top centre half, a real leader, and someone I’ve always believed would be a great fit for us.

“We were close to securing him this time last year, so I’m absolutely delighted to finally get the deal over the line.

“He had several options on the table, so to land him is a real coup for the club.”

Welcome to Ryton, George!
