Doncaster Rovers also had him on trial over pre-season, as per a report by the Doncaster Free Press, but decided against offering him a deal.
Career to date
Taylor-Crossdale started his career at Chelsea and rose up through the academy at Stamford Bridge.
The youngster left the Blues when his contract expired in 2019 and turned down a move to Hoffenheim before going to Fulham.
He went on to play once for the Cottagers’ first-team and was loaned out to League Two side Colchester United last season to get some experience under his belt.

The Terrars are managed by former Doncaster Rovers midfielder Brian Stock and have a few ex-Football League players playing for them these days such as Josh McQuoid, Tyler Cordner, Ross Fitzsimons and Ahkeem Rose.
