Ryton & Crawcrook Albion Manager Daniel Iredale has announced Scott Bamborough will be the Club’s new Captain ahead of the 2022-23 season.

The 29-year-old midfielder assumes the role following the departure of Callum Turnbull during the close-season.

Bamborough, who joined Albion from Killingworth last summer, played 44 times last term, scoring 3 goals and assisting 14 times.

Iredale also confirmed Peter Ravenhill will serve as vice-captain. The 28-year-old forward signed from Newcastle Benfield last month.

RACA begin preparations for the new campaign with their first pre-season friendly at Alnwick town on Saturday. The new Ebac Northern Football League Division 2 season is set to get under way on July 30 with a visit to Easington Colliery on the opening day.
