Ryan Brooke

Ryan Brooke joined Trafford with an outstanding reputation after leaving Runcorn Linnets as the club’s all-time leading goalscorer, having scored 83 goals in 200 appearances. Described by manager Tom Baker as “a coup for the football club”, Ryan arrived with the pedigree and experience expected of a proven number nine.

He has wasted little time making his mark at Shawe View, scoring on his league debut and taking his tally to one goal in his opening three competitive appearances. Strong, intelligent and clinical in front of goal, Ryan combines excellent hold-up play with the movement and finishing ability that have made him one of the region’s most respected non-league strikers. As Trafford’s leading centre-forward, he will be central to the club’s ambitions of challenging for promotion throughout the 2026/27 season.
