Ryan John Crowther (born 17 September 1988) is an English footballer who plays for Fleetwood Town as a winger. He started his career with his local side Stockport County, where he stayed for 10 years before moving to Liverpool in 2007. After spending two years at Liverpool, he left by mutual consent having made no first team appearances.

Crowther went on several trials before joining Stalybridge Celtic in August 2010. He left the club in September, having been sentenced to four months in prison, for a drunken attack on a taxi driver in Watford. After his release from prison he joined Ashton United, where he stayed until the end of the 2010–11 season, before Hyde, and later Fleetwood Town.

Career

Born in Stockport, Greater Manchester,[1] Crowther spent nine years at his local club Stockport County moving through the youth system,[2] before making his first team debut for the club on 2 January 2006 in a 2–2 draw against Cheltenham Town, where aged just 17, he came on as a substitute and was made captain, making him the youngest captain in the club's history.[2] He went on to make one other senior appearance for Stockport before the club were approached by Liverpool requesting an opportunity to take both Crowther and Greg Tansey on trial with a view to take them to a tournament in Milan, and agreed deals with Stockport for both players subject to satisfactory performances from the players at the tournament.[3] The players both went to the tournament and Crowther joined Liverpool on 9 July 2007, with Tansey deciding to stay at Stockport.[4] Crowther featured for the successful Liverpool reserve team during the 2007–08 season. On 18 August 2009, it was confirmed that he had left Liverpool by mutual consent.[5]

After several trials, he joined Stalybridge Celtic in August 2010, making his debut for the club on 28 of that month in a Conference North match against Nuneaton Town.[9] After just one more appearance, as a substitute, in a 1–0 defeat to Harrogate Town,[10] he left the club to serve four months in prison after being convicted of assualt.[11] On his release from prison, he joined Northern Premier League outfit Ashton United.[12] He scored his first goal for the club, in a Manchester Premier Cup game against Irlam Town, which Crowther's side won 7–0.[13] He scored his first league goal for the club on the following weekend, as his side were beaten 6–3 by Frickley Athletic.[14] He played 25 games in the 2010–11 season in total, scoring four goals.[15] However, Crowther joined Ashton's neighbours Hyde in June 2011.[16] He made his debut on the opening day of the 2011–12 season as his side beat Worcester City 2–1, Crowther scored the opening goal.[17] He scored one more goal in August as Hyde came out as 4–0 winners over Hinckley United.[18] Crowther played a total of 17 games, in which he scored nine goals, during his short spell with Hyde.[19]

On 18 November 2011, he left Hyde in order to join Conference National club Fleetwood Town on a free transfer.[20][21] He made his Fleetwood debut a day later as a second-half substitute as his side beat Crowther's former team Stockport 2–1.[22]

Personal life

In an interview with Liverpool Football Club, he stated that if he wasn't a footballer he would have been a physio.[2] On 12 September 2010, he was jailed for four months over a drunken attack on a taxi driver which had taken place on 9 August 2009 in Watford, Hertfordshire.[11] He was tried for racially aggravated assault occasioning actual bodily harm but a jury acquitted him of that charge, but found him guilty of an alternative charge of assaulting the taxi driver.[7]
