Christopher Flynn (born November 5, 1987 in Market Drayton, England) is a professional Welsh footballer currently playing for Stafford Rangers.

[edit] Career

Flynn is one of many players to be produced by the Crewe Alexandra production line. He first joined the club at the early age of nine, before making his way up the ranks at Crewe's academy, playing as a defender. However, Flynn soon moved out of his defensive position to take up a midfield role during his time in the under-18s squad.

In June 2006, Flynn turned professional, following his impressive displays in the youth teams. The Welshman made his Crewe debut in their 5-1 League One defeat to Rotherham United. Three days later, he played his first cup match for Crewe against Rochdale, which Crewe won on penalties.

In an attempt to gain first team experience, Flynn was loaned out to Conference National side Cambridge United. There he has so far played a single match, which was Cambridge's 4-0 away win over Northwich Victoria.

Chris joined Stafford Rangers in August 2007.

His mother is a teacher at Pates grammar school, Cheltenham.
