[edit] Club career

Born in Dorchester, Dorset, Critchell joined Southampton as a trainee in July 2003 after being spotted playing for Weymouth's reserve team.[4] He played in both legs of the FA Youth Cup semi-final in 2005, and suffered from a broken ankle in the second leg, which Southampton won in a penalty shootout.[5] In the 2005 pre-season he made his first appearance in the Southampton first team during pre-season and signed a professional contract with the club on 4 August 2005, but spent most of the 2005–06 season out with a cruciate ligament injury.[6][7]

He joined League Two side Torquay United on a two-month loan in October 2006.[8] He made his league debut on 28 October 2006 in Torquay's 0–0 draw at home to Shrewsbury Town and finished the loan period with 10 appearances.[9][10] He moved to Chesterfield of League One on a free transfer on 19 January 2007, signing a contract taking him to the end of the 2006–07 season.[11] He made his debut in a 1–0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on 20 January.[12] During a game against Crewe Alexandra on 7 April he picked up a groin strain, which resulted in him undergoing a scan.[13] He also suffered from a virus while at the club and was released in May 2007, after making 10 appearances as Chesterfield were relegated to League Two.[10][14][15]

Critchell playing for York City in 2009

Critchell trained with Conference National side Weymouth and signed a two-year contract on 20 June 2007.[16][17] He made his debut on 11 August, the opening day of the 2007–08 season, in a 2–1 victory over Halifax Town.[18] Following a 3–1 defeat to Stafford Rangers for Weymouth, manager Jason Tindall singled out Critchell for praise, saying; "The only one out there today who deserves any credit for their performance was Kyle Critchell but overall it was not good enough".[19] He was sent off against Altrincham on the final day of the season after clashing with Gary Scott and he finished the season with 42 appearances.[20][21]

Critchell signed a two-year contract with newly-relegated Conference side Wrexham on 24 June 2008.[22] He made his debut in a 2–0 victory over Oxford United, where he played in right midfield.[23] After making a further appearance for Wrexham he suffered from an ankle injury during a training session.[24][25] He underwent surgery on this ankle in October, which had been delayed due to illness.[26] After recovering from this injury four months later, he said he was looking to be loaned out to help improve his first team chances at Wrexham.[27] He eventually joined fellow Conference side York City on a one-month loan on 5 January 2009.[28] He was due to make his debut a day later against former club Weymouth, but the match was postponed.[29] He eventually made his first appearance after playing in the 2–1 victory over Oxford on 13 January in the second round of the FA Trophy.[30] This was followed by his league debut on 17 January in a 3–0 victory over Lewes.[31] The loan was extended for a second month on 4 February and finished his time at York with 11 appearances.[32][33]

He rejoined Weymouth on loan in March until 24 April and made his debut in a 2–0 defeat to Kettering Town.[34][35] He finished the season with eight appearances for Weymouth, while the club was relegated to the Conference South.[33] After making two appearances for Wrexham,[33] he was released on 8 June, after agreeing a deal for his contract to be cancelled.[36] He then re-signed for Weymouth for the 2009–10 season on a permanent contract in June.[37] Critchell left Weymouth in November to join local rivals and hometown club Dorchester Town.[38] He finished the season with 20 appearances for Dorchester.[39] Critchell made 40 appearances and scored three goals in the 2010–11 season.[40]

[edit] International career

Despite being born in England, he has represented Wales at under-17 level,[41] with whom he gained five caps.[42] He made his debut for the Wales under-21 team in a 1–0 victory against Austria on 25 March 2005.[43] He was named in the squad to face Turkey in September 2006,[44] which proved to be his final appearance for the team.[45] He was forced into withdrawing from the squad in February 2007 for a friendly against Northern Ireland due to injury.[46]

He was called into the Wales Semi-Pro team for their match against England C in February 2008 and made his debut in this match, with Wales being defeated 2–1.[47][48] He was named in the squad for the Four Nations tournament in May.[49]

[edit] Style of play

Described as "an extremely versatile player with boundless energy",[3] Critchell has a preference for playing at right back, although he can also play on the left or in midfield.[50] While in the Weymouth youth system, he played as a striker.[5]
