Now Maynard & Crocombe Join Ammies

Salford City have announced the signing of midfielder Lois Maynard and goalkeeper Max Crocombe.

Twenty-eight-year-old Maynard (pictured) is a midfielder who started his career in the North West.Counties League with Daisy Hill, Chadderton and Flixton.

His steadily growing reputation earned him a move to FC Halifax Town in the summer of 2013.

During the 2014/15 season he recorded a career best 11 goals and signed on professional terms with Tranmere Rovers the following summer.

Since then Maynard has been a key member of the Rovers side but has now made the decision to join Salford City.

Another top notch signing for the Ammies and with seven full caps for St Kitts & Nevis under his belt, Maynard joins the growing band of internationals to represent Salford City.

At 6' 3" Maynard is an imposing figure and can play in defence as well as midfield.

New Zealand-born keeper Crocombe has also become a new Ammies signing.

Twenty-three-year-old Crocombe was born in Auckland, New Zealand then moved to the UK when still a youngster.

His football career included early spells with MK Dons and Luton Town but aged sixteen he signed for Buckingham Town.

Despite his tender years, he went on to make 33 first-team appearances for the ChromaSport & Trophies United Counties League Division One side.

Oxford United were sufficiently impressed to enrol Crocombe as a scholar and in 2012 he signed his first professional contract at the Kassam Stadium.

During the following League Two season he made four appearances, three of which ended in clean sheets.

During the 2013/14 campaign he made two League Cup appearances for the U's, including a 1-1 draw with Premier League West Bromwich Albion, saving two penalties in the post extra-time shoot-out.

During his four seasons with Oxford Crocombe had loan spells with Nuneaton Town, Barnet and Southport - during the last of these he played in the FA Cup Fourth Qualifying round game at Moor Lane, ending up on the losing side as Salford booked a place in the competition proper for the first time in their history.

Southport's battle against relegation during the 2015/16 campaign was a successful one and Crocombe was a key player for the side that retained their National League status.

He left the Kassam Stadium during the summer of 2016 and moved north to sign for Carlisle United.

He made four first-team appearances for the Cumbrians last season and has now agreed to join Salford on 1st July after his contract with Carlisle expires.

A New Zealand international at under-20 and under-23 level, 6`5” Crocombe has also been included in the senior squad and may well join the list of Salford players to win full caps for their country.
