YORK City defender Adam Crookes has been named in the Vanarama National League Team of the Week.

His inclusion follows a stellar performance from the Minstermen at play-off chasers Chesterfield on Good Friday, in which goals from Olly Dyson, Michael Duckworth and Paddy McLaughlin steered them to a 3-1 triumph, their first victory in the town in 31 years.

That result, coupled with Monday night’s 1-0 win against Barnet, has seen City all but assure their National League safety, moving into 14th position, nine points above the relegation zone with four matches remaining.

The National League tweeted that this week’s team served as recognition for the key players in sides at the bottom of the table, with representatives from Torquay United and Yeovil Town, two of the sides currently occupying relegation places.

Full National League Team of the Week: Laurie Walker (Barnet), Adam Crookes (York City), Josh Staunton (Yeovil Town), Manny Onariase (Dagenham & Redbridge), Tyler Golden (FC Halifax Town), Stephen Wearne (Gateshead), Asa Hall (Torquay United), Rohan Ince (Woking), Sam Austin (Notts County), Tyrese Sinclair (Altrincham), Millenic Alli (Halifax).
