Ryan Edmondson

Ryan David Edmondson (born 20 May 2001) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for A-League Men club Central Coast Mariners.

He was loaned out to Fleetwood Town for the 2021–22 season but was recalled early in January to find more game time with Port Vale.

[7] He made his first-team debut in the National League North on 7 October 2017, when being substituted on in the 72nd minute in a 2–1 win over Brackley Town at Bootham Crescent.

[9] Edmondson was signed by Championship club Leeds United on 15 November 2017, on a scholarship contract until June 2020 for an undisclosed fee.

[12] Manager Paul Heckingbottom praised the teenager's attitude after the match, though admitted that he had a long way to go before being ready to play regular first-team football.

[16] Leeds were promoted into the Premier League at the end of the 2019–20 season, leaving Edmondson to need loan moves in order to find first-team football, though he would be closely monitored by head coach Marcelo Bielsa.

[32] He struggled to establish himself at Highbury under both Simon Grayson and Stephen Crainey, and scored just two goals in 17 games before being recalled by Leeds United on 4 January 2022.

[39] Edmondson returned to League Two permanently on 23 June 2022 when he signed a two-year contract with Carlisle United on a free transfer.

[40] He scored his first league goal for the Cumbrians on 22 October, in a 3–2 defeat at Brunton Park, though was sent off for violent conduct on opposition player Darren Pratley.

[43] He scored six goals from 30 appearances during the 2022–23 season, and converted his penalty in the shoot-out victory over Stockport County in the 2023 League Two play-off final.

[44][45] Speaking in August 2023, manager Paul Simpson said that Edmondson spent too much time out on the wings and would improve by staying in position as a central striker.
