Joshua Dean Windass (born 29 January 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays for Accrington Stanley as a midfielder. He will join Scottish club Rangers at the start of the 2016–17 season.
Career
Windass played youth football for Huddersfield Town; he was released by the club in April 2012 and trialled with Bradford City that same month.[2] Windass began his senior career with non-league team Harrogate Railway Athletic in December 2012.[3] He signed a professional contract with Accrington Stanley in July 2013.[4][5]
He made his professional debut on 9 November 2013, in the FA Cup.[6]
In November 2015 he turned down a new contract from the club on the advice of his father.[7]
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.[8] The duo agreed pre-contracts with Rangers later that month, ahead of the 2016–17 season.[9]
