[edit] Career
Cronin came up through the youth system at Crystal Palace.[1] He joined Wycombe on loan during the 2004–05 season, where he made one appearance for the club in League Two.[2] He was released by Crystal Palace at the end of the 2004–05 without playing for the first-team and joined Oldham on a non-contract basis in November 2005 to provide cover for a FA Cup tie against Chasetown[3] in which he made a substitute appearance,[1] He then joined Shrewsbury Town on non-contract terms in February 2006 to provide cover for regular goalkeeper Joe Hart.[1] Cronin left Shrewsbury in April 2006[4] and after a trial with Grimsby Town,[5] joined Gravesend and Northfleet (now Ebbsfleet United) to cover a long-term injury to regular goalkeeper Craig Holloway.[6]
After a good start to his first season at Ebbsfleet, Cronin was called up for the England National Game XI (now the England C national football team) squad for the first time in November 2006[7] and made his debut against Holland as a substitute nine minutes from time as England won the European Challenge Trophy.[8] He went on to make a total of four international appearances for England.[9]
By the end of the 2007–08 season, Cronin had made over 90 appearances for Ebbsfleet[10] and collected a winners medal when Ebbsfleet won the FA Trophy at Wembley Stadium in May 2008.[11]
