Joshua Lundstram (born 19 February 1999) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Oldham Athletic.
Lundstram graduated from Crewe's academy in summer 2017. [3]
He gained experience in non-League football with loan moves to Sandbach United, Newcastle Town and Nuneaton Borough, the latter for a month in January 2019. [4] He was given a one-year contract, with an optional one-year extension, in May 2019. [5]
In November 2019, Lundstram went on a month's loan to Kidsgrove Athletic before joining Altrincham on a similar deal in January 2020. [6] [7] His loan to Altrincham was firstly extended by a month, [8] then to the end of the season. [9] He was part of the Altrincham side that won the National League North Play-offs that year. [10]
Lundstram made his first-team debut for Crewe in the opening group game of the 2020–21 EFL Trophy away to Bolton Wanderers, playing 80 minutes before being replaced by Oliver Finney. [11] He made his league debut the following Saturday, 12 September 2020, at home to Charlton Athletic, replacing Finney for the final 15 minutes. [12] However, in October 2020 he was sidelined after suffering a stress fracture to his ankle, [13] eventually making a return to light training in February 2021, [14] and returning to first-team action with another substitute appearance in the final match of the season. [15]
On 13 May 2021, Crewe announced that it had offered Lundstram a new contract; [16] he signed a two-year deal in June 2021, [15] and made his first league start for Crewe on 7 August 2021 against Cheltenham Town at Gresty Road, playing the pass that set up Crewe's goal in a 1–1 draw. [17]
On 17 December 2021, Lundstram joined National League side Solihull Moors on a 28-day loan deal until 14 January 2022. [18] He made his debut in Solihull's 1–0 win at AFC Fylde in the fourth round of the FA Trophy on 18 December, [19] and then made one league appearance, against Stockport County on 28 December 2021. [20]
On 28 May 2022, Crewe announced Lundstram would be joining Altrincham permanently for an undisclosed fee on 1 July 2022. [21]
Lundstram played all of Altrincham's league games in the 2022-2023 season, scoring three times, and was named Player of the Year in all three categories (supporters, players and manager) in the club's end of season awards. [22] He was later also announced as National League Player of the Season at the North West Football Awards in November 2023. [23]
On 6 June 2023, fellow National League club Oldham Athletic announced Lundstram would be joining them permanently for an undisclosed fee. [24] After incurring a knee injury in a pre-season game, [25] he made his Oldham debut as a 61st minute substitute in a 1–1 draw at Wealdstone on 30 September 2023. [26]
