Ross is a commanding centre-half who signed from Whitley Bay on 8 March 2018. He had been at Hillheads for two seasons.
His previous clubs are Durham City (twice), Sunderland RCA (loan), Shildon, Team Northumbria, Ossett Albion (loan), Mansfield Town and Leeds United.
As a young player at Leeds, he won one England Under-18 cap, coming on as a sub in a 4-1 win over the Netherlands in March 2007.
At 6ft 4in he’s a big presence at the heart of any defence, and it’s no surprise that he’s good in the air, scoring some vital goals for all his clubs.
Made his Consett debut in a 3-1 win over Bishop Auckland on 24 March 2018, but was ineligible to play in that season’s Durham Challenge Cup triumph.
Quickly formed a solid central defensive partnership with Arjun Purewal, which was a vital part of our run to the 2020 FA Vase final, and he played the full 90 minutes at Wembley.
