Ryan Mark Croasdale (born 26 September 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for club Stockport County.
Croasdale joined Preston North End in 2003 and made his first-team debut at the age of 19 in a Football League Trophy tie against Oldham Athletic, featuring for 45 mins in the 2–0 defeat.[4] A month later, he joined Conference Premier side Tamworth on an emergency one-month loan deal.[5] Croasdale only featured twice for Tamworth against Alfreton Town[6] and Grimsby Town[7] before returning to Preston at the end of the month. In February 2014, Croasdale made the switch to Conference North side Stalybridge Celtic on a loan deal for the remainder of the campaign.[8] Croasdale scored just once during his loan spell, in Stalybridge's 3–1 away victory over Vauxhall Motors.[9] Following the conclusion of the 2013–14 campaign, Croasdale was among the six players released by Preston.[10]
Following his release from Preston, Croasdale joined Sheffield Wednesday in June 2014.[11] However, Croasdale failed to make an impact and was released two years later in June 2016.[12]
On 19 August 2016, Croasdale opted to join National League North side Kidderminster Harriers on a non-contract basis.[13] A day later, he made his debut against his former club, Stalybridge Celtic, in which he featured for twenty minutes in the 2–1 victory.[14] On 29 October 2016, Croasdale scored his first goal for the Harriers in their 1–0 away victory over Stockport County, netting the only goal of the game in the 65th minute.[15] Following an impressive first few months at Kidderminster, Croasdale was rewarded with a long-term contract. On 4 May 2017, Croasdale received his first call-up for the England C squad by manager Paul Fairclough for their fixtures against Panjab and Jersey.[16] After a successful first season, in which Kidderminster reached the play-offs, Croasdale was handed the captain's armband for the 2017–18 campaign.[17]
On 22 June 2018, Croasdale joined National League side AFC Fylde for a club record fee of £50,000.[18]
In September 2020, Croasdale joined Stockport County on a free transfer after an acrimonious departure from Fylde.[19]
