Cracknell joined the Lions on 13th June 2024 after choosing to leave Scarborough to persue a new challenge.

The goalkeeper racked up over 100 appearances for the Seadogs over a two season stay.

Joe came through Hull City’s academy and joined Scarborough on a loan deal in the 14/15 season before returning there on another temporary switch in the following campaign.

Cracknell spent two years at Bradford City before joining Simon Weaver at Harrogate Town for four seasons.

On joining the Lions Joe said “I met with Mark Bower, Russ O’Neill and Danny Boshell and they outlined their aims for the club. It was a really exciting opportunity for me, a nice new challenge. I cannot wait to get started and be playing a good part in the excellent squad they are assembling.”

On 2nd June 2026 it was announced that Joe Cracknell had left the club after playing in all of our 94 matches during his two season stay, during that time he kept 28 clean sheets and won the 2024/25 Craig Shearstone Guiseley AFC Supporters’ Club Player of the Season award.
