Leon Everton George Crooks (born 21 November 1985) is an English footballer who is currently a free agent.
Born in Greenwich, London,[1] Leon Crooks joined Wycombe Wanderers in January 2007 from Milton Keynes Dons for a nominal fee. However, he failed to impress manager Paul Lambert, despite fans' spokesman Luke Taylor describing him as a "sensational talent",[3] and in July 2007 he was left out of a pre-season tour to Germany. He requested to be allowed to train with the Dons while he searched for a new contract at the start of the new season but returned to Wycombe after a week having failed to impress new Dons manager Paul Ince. In January 2009 it was announced that Crooks would join Conference National side Ebbsfleet United on month's loan.[3] Crooks made his debut for Ebbsfleet in their 1–0 home league win over Rushden & Diamonds, and the loan was subsequently extended to two, and then three months.
At the end of the 2008–09 season, Wycombe Wanderers released Crooks.[4]
Crooks signed for Ebbsfleet United permanently on 6 August 2009, but was released in the summer of 2010.
