Career

[edit]

Bolton Wanderers

[edit]
Darcy at Bolton Wanderers in November 2017

Darcy signed for the Bolton Wanderers Academy in 2008 at the age of 9.[2] He spent the first half of the 2018–2019 season on loan at Skelmersdale United, where he played three times.[3][4]

On 5 May 2019, Darcy made his Bolton debut, coming on as a second-half substitute for Craig Noone in Bolton's final game of the 2018–19 season away to Nottingham Forest.[5] Darcy's scholarship contract was extended for a further year on 21 May 2019.[6] He scored his first goal for Bolton Wanderers in a 5–2 defeat to Rochdale in the EFL Cup,[7] and scored his first league goal for the club in a 5-1 defeat to Lincoln City.[8] He played 22 matches during the 2019–20 season, which saw Bolton relegated to League Two.[9] On 15 June 2020 Darcy signed his first professional contract, signing a new two-year contract with Bolton.[10] During the 2020–21 season he played 11 matches as Bolton were promoted to League One.[11]

On 17 August 2021, he signed a new one-year contract extension until 2023[12] and while it was initially reported that he had simultaneously joined Norwegian side Sogndal on loan until December,[13][14] it wasn't until 27 August that the club confirmed the loan.[15] The delay was due to work permit issues as Sogndal had not realised they had to apply for one, with English players no longer counting as EU players as a result of Brexit.[16] His debut was delayed due to injury[17] with Darcy making his debut on 22 September when he came on as a half time substitute in a 0–2 defeat against Åsane Fotball in the Norwegian Football Cup.[18] Darcy helped Sogndal qualify for the play-offs, though they were eliminated in the first round by KFUM-Kameratene Oslo.[19]

On 1 February 2022, Darcy joined Scottish League One club Queen's Park on loan until the end of the season.[20] He made his debut four days later when he came on as a substitute in a 1–1 draw against Falkirk.[21] Darcy scored his first goal on 22 February in a 3–3 draw against Celtic U-20s in the Glasgow Cup.[22] His first league goal for Queen's Park came on 12 March, a late equaliser in a 1–1 draw against Alloa Athletic.[23] During his loan spell he helped Queen's Park reach the finals of both the Glasgow Cup and the play-offs. Though they lost the Glasgow Cup final 3–1 to Rangers B,[24] they won the play-off final 3–2 on aggregate against Airdrieonians earning them promotion to the Scottish Championship.[25]

Swindon Town

[edit]

On 13 July 2022, Darcy signed a two-year deal for EFL League Two side Swindon Town for an undisclosed fee, after completing a successful trial period at the club.[26][27] He then scored his first goal for the Robins on 24 September, in a 1-2 away league victory against Grimsby Town.[28]

Crawley Town

[edit]

On 28 July 2023, Darcy signed for fellow League Two side Crawley Town on a two-year contract for an undisclosed fee, reuniting with Scott Lindsey who had signed him for Swindon.[29] On 17 September He scored his first goal for Crawley against Tranmere Rovers in a 3-2 league victory.

Darcy appeared in all three of Crawley's League Two play-off matches at the end of the 2023–24 as Crawley were promoted to League One after a 2–0 victory over Crewe Alexandra in the final.[30][31]

Personal life

[edit]

Born in England, Darcy is of Irish descent through his grandfather born in Limerick.[32]
