Ty Moorcroft is up for a Berkshire Football Award in the category of Young Player of the Season (Male) sponsored by Procision Football Academy.
The young forward – who has represented Great Britain in Gymnastics – has been front and centre of Woodley’s ‘Great Escape’ this season scoring twice in the final night 5-0 hammering of Oxhey Jets.
The goalscorers somersault celebration certainly makes sense when you find him listed on the Bracknell Gymnastics Club website answering What age did you start [gymnastics]? with: “Age 8. My mum wasn’t happy I was trying backflips on the sofa.”
A slew of nominations have dropped in since Tuesday night with one nomination saying: “Ty has played 16 games for Woodley United and scored 17 goals which has contributed hugely to save them from relegation.”
Another added: “He has come in mid season and scored 17 goals in 16 to help the bottom side all season stay up,” while another simply said: “He’s smashing it for the team!”
Agree that Ty Moorcroft should be up for the Young Player of the Season (Male) award? Or do you have someone else in mind? Let us know in the nomination form below:
