Ryan Anthony Cresswell (born 22 December 1987) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for Northampton Town.

A graduate of the Sheffield United youth academy, Cresswell failed to break in the first team and was hence loaned to clubs in the lower divisions of English football. In 2008, after being released by Sheffield, he signed for Bury in League Two. Playing more than 50 matches for the club, he joined Rotherham United two seasons later.

Cresswell again changed clubs in 2012, penning a contract for Southend United. He was named in the League Two team of the 2012–13 season. The following season, he was transferred to Fleetwood Town with whom, he won promotion to League One. In 2014, after failing to make much impact at Fleetwood he again came to League Two, joining Northampton Town

Early years

Cresswell started his career with Sheffield United, but got his first taste of first team football with non-league Halifax Town where he was loaned during the 2006–07 season.[2]

Cresswell went out on loan again at the start of the 2007–08 season, spending time at Rotherham United.[3] The Blades recalled him however because they didn't think he was playing enough games having started only 2 games for the Millers, and making two substitute appearances.[4] He was quickly loaned out again, this time to Morecambe[5] but only managed a further two league appearances at Christie Park.[6]

He joined Macclesfield Town on loan for the remainder of the season in January 2008[7] where he played 19 times, scoring one goal.[6]

During the close season he agreed to a one-year load deal with one of Sheffield United's many partner clubs Ferencváros.[8]

Despite joining up with Ferencváros for pre-season training[9] only a few weeks after agreeing the loan move Cresswell joined Bury on 2008.[10] Ryan made his Bury debut as late sub in the first game of the season in a 1–0 win at home to Brentford on 9 August 2008. Cresswell got his first goal for Bury on 1 November in a 1–0 win at Notts County.[10] He was red carded in the last match of the season against Chester.[10] In the second season with the club Cresswell made 31 appearances, scoring in none.[11]

Rotherham United

In June 2010, Cresswell joined Rotherham United on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[12] He scored on his debut, finding the net in the 88th minute against Lincoln City[13] He again found the net, in a high scoring match of 10 goals against Cheltenham Town, helping the team to overturn a three-one deficit.[14] He emded the first season with Rotherham scoring 5 goals in 26 matches, getting 3 yellow cards.[15]

In the following season, with the arrival of Andy Scott as the manager, he fell in the pecking order, and made limited appearance. Cresswell was however again made regular in the senior team after Darren Patterson's appointment.[16] He scored goals in consecutive two matches twice, once against Accrington Stanley[17] and Torquay United,[18] and another against Cheltenham Town[19] and in a defeat against Shrwesbury Town.[20] He was red carded in the last match of the season against Morecambe after picking a second yellow card.[21]

Southend United

On 10 July 2012, a disappointed Cresswell signed for Southend United after being transfer listed by Rotherham United, penning a two-year contract.[22] On 25 August 2012 Cresswell scored his first goal for Southend, a 92-minute equaliser in a 3–3 draw with Northampton Town.[23] On 4 September 2012 Cresswell scored another injury time goal, this time it proved to be the winner as Southend triumphed 2–1 over AFC Wimbledon in the first round of the Football League Trophy.[24]

Creswell, along with teammate Sean Clohessy, was named in the PFA League Two Team of the year for 2012/13.[25]

On 23 July 2013 Cresswell joined Fleetwood Town on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee, with Shrimpers boss Phil Brown stating that the reasoning was that Cresswell wanted to return to the North of England.[26] On the opening game of the season, he scored a 56th-minute goal in a 3–1 victory against Dagenham and Redbridge.[27] He ended the first season with Fleetwood, making 26 appearances in all competitions,[28] as Fleetwood won their promotion to League One.[29]

Northampton Town

On deadline day, 1 September 2014, Cresswell signed for Northampton Town for an undisclosed fee for a three-year deal.[30] He made his debut for the club against Dagenham and Redbridge.[31] He scored his first goal for the club, netting a 31rst minute strike in a one all result against Wycombe Wanderers.[32] He was voted the "player of the month for November 2014.[33] In January 2015, Southend United manager Phil Brown revealed that he wanted to resign Cresswell in the summer transfer window, but the financial strains of the club prevented him from doing so.[34]
