Midfielder Liam Cross returns to the KMM Energy Stadium on permanent deal

Gloucester City AFC are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder and former City player Liam Cross on a permanent deal.

Cross since departing the club at the end of last season to return to parent club Brackley Town, has gone on to sign for Southern League Premier Central side St Ives Town, making twenty appearances this season.

The midfielder started his career at Northampton Town as a youth player making several loan moves to clubs including St Ives Town, Leamington and Tamworth. In the summer of 2023, Brackley Town brought the teenager at the time into their club on a permanent deal before sending him out on loan to ourselves and Needham Market.

This will be the 22-year-old's third tenure at the club, his first being in the 2023-24 season in the National League North and the second being the back end of the 2024-25 Southern League Premier South season.

"I am delighted to have signed Liam on a permanent deal," said City manager, Daf Williams.

"He’s a player that was on my radar in the summer and for different reasons it wasn’t the right time to pursue. However, Liam’s qualities are more suited to what we’re looking to do moving forward and he will be a great addition to the group."

"He’s familiar with some of the lads and the football club, and will settle in quickly I’m sure."

We welcome Liam to the KMM Energy Stadium.
