Joshua Dean Windass (born 29 January 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays for Scottish club Rangers, as a midfielder.

Career

Early career

Windass played youth football for Huddersfield Town, spending ten years with the club.[2] He was released in April 2012 and trialled with Bradford City that same month.[3] Windass began his senior career with non-league team Harrogate Railway Athletic in December 2012.[4] He played on a semi-professional basis, combining his football career with a job as a construction labourer.[2]

Accrington Stanley

He signed a professional contract with Accrington Stanley in July 2013.[5][6] He made his professional debut on 9 November 2013, in the FA Cup.[7] In November 2015 he turned down a new contract from the club on the advice of his father.[8] In January 2016 Accrington announced that Scottish club Rangers had approached Windass and team-mate Matt Crooks directly, due to them being in the final six months of their contracts.[9] The duo agreed pre-contracts with Rangers later that month, ahead of the 2016–17 season.[10]

Rangers

Windass joined Rangers on 1 July 2016, signing a four-year contract alongside fellow Accrington player Matt Crooks. Both players had already been training with the club prior to completing their transfers after Rangers agreed a compensation fee with Accrington, reported to be around £60,000 per player.[11] Windass made his debut for Rangers in a pre-season friendly against American side Charleston Battery on 7 July 2016, scoring the opening goal in a 2-1 win.[12]

Personal life

He is the son of ex-professional Dean Windass.[2][13]
