Phil Croker has committed his long-term future to the club by signing his first professional (or senior) deal with the club.

The teenager has risen through the ranks to break into the first team squad and has signed a deal to keep him at the MGroup Stadium beyond the 2024/25 season.

Speaking after signing, Phil Croker said: “It’s a really proud moment for myself, it’s just the start of a small journey and hopefully I can kick on from here.”

Croker has risen through the ranks at the club after joining as a youngster.

He burst onto the scene after scoring a hat-trick in our FA Youth Cup tie against Street FC and eventually made his first team debut in the Vanarama National League away at Dorking Wanderers.

This season he’s continued to fight for his place, and he scored his first senior goal in the Isuzu FA Trophy win against Sporting Khalsa.

Congratulations, Phil!
