Craig Ellison Departs Avenue for Congleton Town

posted in: First Team News, News | 0

Bradford (Park Avenue) can confirm that goalkeeper Craig Ellison has departed the club through mutual consent to join Congleton Town.

Ellison, affectionately known as “Ello,” made 11 appearances this season, adding to his four appearances during the previous campaign.

Reflecting on his time at the club, Craig shared the following message with supporters:

“It’s been a pleasure! Thank you to the fans for all the support over the two seasons. Frustrated not to have featured as much as I’d like recently due to injury, but that’s football as a veteran. Hopefully, the lads secure promotion and get the club back where it deserves to be!”

We thank Craig for his contributions on and off the pitch during his time at Horsfall Community Stadium and wish him all the best at Congleton Town.
