LOUIS CROAKE
UJFC U8s
Signed to Stoke City, 2023
“Louis joined UJFC as an U7 and played 2 seasons before being offered a contract by Stoke City. Within a young age group, you sometimes see kids that are good at one element of the game whilst learning others, but Louis had everything and was the complete package. Completely selfless, humble and extremely hard working, he was equally comfortable playing up front or at the back. He was the ultimate team player and had as many assists as goals. Technically very strong and more than happy to put a tackle in when needed. His ‘Rabona dink’ over an out rushing Goal Keeper at Abbots Bromley will never be forgotten to those that saw it! UJFC are extremely proud to have played a part in Louis’ development and look forward to hearing about how his career develops within the pro ranks. Good luck Louis!”
