Jon Guthrie is enjoying his breakthrough season in the Crewe Alexandra side this season, becoming a regular in Steve Davis’ starting XI since excelling in the comprehensive 3-0 victory over Sheffield United in early February.

Now reaping the rewards for his hard work in training, Guthrie has paid great adage to the Alex’s coaching set-up and has hinted that he is keen to repay the club that gave him his chance for months and years to come. 

Jon told the club’s official website: “It’s a great club here at Crewe Alex, who wouldn’t want to be here? It’s renowned for bringing through great players with the great coaching that goes on. Hopefully you can see that from the way they’ve coached me and I really want to stay here.

“I don’t want it to stop. I want to play every game until the end of the season and see how it goes from there, but I want this now.

“This is my first proper extended run in the team which is always good, and I’m getting more and more confident as it goes – I’m really enjoying it.”
