Joel William Tabiner (born 30 November 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL League Two club Crewe Alexandra.
Career
[edit]Tabiner signed a scholarship deal with Crewe Alexandra's Academy in 2020.[2]
He made his Crewe debut on 9 November 2021 in an EFL Trophy group game against Wolves Under-21s at Gresty Road.[3]
On 4 February 2022, Tabiner joined Leek Town on a one-month youth loan deal,[4] making his debut the following day in their 2–0 home win against City of Liverpool F.C.[5] He signed his first professional deal with Crewe at the end of the 2021–22 season,[6] and early the following season made his first Crewe start on 9 August 2022, playing in an EFL League Cup first round defeat at Grimsby Town.[7] Tabiner started three consecutive league games in October 2022, but Crewe manager Alex Morris was being careful not to over-burden him: "He's not going to last games yet. He's an 18-year-old boy..., and we've got to make sure that we do not break him along the way."[8]
Tabiner scored his first Crewe goal in a 4–3 win over Salford City at Gresty Road on 10 March 2023.[9] On 15 September 2023, he signed a new contract keeping him at Crewe until 2026, with the option of a further year.[10] In October 2023, he incurred an ankle injury which required prolonged treatment;[11] he eventually returned to full training in mid-February 2024,[12] helping Crewe to a play-off final appearance at the end of the season.
