Daniel Crowley: Morecambe sign midfielder from Dutch side Willem II on short-term deal

Daniel Crowley was relegated from the Dutch top flight with Willem II last season

Morecambe have signed midfielder Daniel Crowley from Dutch side Willem II on a short-term deal until the end of the season.

The 25-year-old played with Aston Villa's academy before moving to Arsenal at the age of 15.

He had loan spells with Barnsley and Oxford before joining Birmingham City in 2019, where he made 45 appearances.

"I've missed English football, having spent the last year out in Holland," he told the club's website.

"There's nothing quite like playing at 3pm on a Saturday, so to be back in English football and playing for Morecambe is something I'm really looking forward to."

Crowley also played in the Netherlands for Go Ahead Eagles while he rejoined Willem II from Cheltenham, who he joined on a free from Blues in October 2021.
