Club career

Youth career

Born in Atlanta, Cropper moved to Maple Grove, Minnesota when he was 10.[2] He played with the Minnesota Thunder Academy and the Reading Rage, as well spending time with the US U-17 residency program at the IMG Soccer Academy in Bradenton, Florida.[3] Cropper had several trials in England, including with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City, before joining the Ipswich Town academy in 2010.[3] He made the bench for the Ipswich first team, but suffered a torn meniscus.[4] He failed to receive a new contract offer from Ipswich and was released after the 2011–12 season.

Southampton

Cropper joined Southampton in August 2012.[4][5] Cropper served as a backup keeper for the Saints; making the first team bench, but playing for the U-21 and U-23 teams and never making a first team appearance. His time with Southampton included multiple injuries.[6][7] After three years at the south coast club, Cropper was released in May 2015.[8]

Milton Keynes Dons

On June 30, 2015, Cropper joined newly promoted Championship side Milton Keynes Dons.[9] He made his debut for MK Dons on August 11, 2015, in an EFL Cup first round win against Leyton Orient.[10][11] In September Cropper underwent knee surgery that kept him sidelined for over a month.[12] On April 16, 2016, Cropper was sent off for a foul on Preston North End's striker Eoin Doyle.[13] He returned from the suspension on April 23 and suffered a season ending shoulder injury in a 4–1 loss to Brentford.[14] Cropper was released after the 2015-16 season when the club decided not to take up the one-year option in Cropper's contract after being relegated to League One.[15]

New England Revolution

On August 18, 2016, Cropper signed with Major League Soccer club New England Revolution.[16] He made his Revolution debut on October 23, getting a clean sheet in a 3–0 win over the Montreal Impact in the final game of the season.[17]

The Revolution's first choice goalkeeper, Bobby Shuttleworth, was traded to Minnesota United ahead of the 2017 season, giving Cropper a shot at the starting job. Cropper impressed head coach Jay Heaps and won the starting job coming out of preseason.[18] He started 28 of the 34 league games during the year, keeping eight clean sheets.[19] However the Revolution finished in 7th place in the Eastern Conference, missing out on the playoffs by five points.[20]

Cropper did not play during the 2018 season. He missed the start of the season due to a concussion. When he had returned to action, head coach Brad Friedel kept Matt Turner as the starter with Brad Knighton as the second choice keeper.[21][22][23]

Cropper made his first appearance of 2019 on March 30, a 2–1 win over Minnesota United in the 5th game of the season.[22] He would start the next 7 games for the Revs before Friedel decided to bench him. Bruce Arena came in as the new head coach, but Cropper failed to return to the lineup.[24]

Hartford Athletic (loan)

On August 17, 2019, Cropper was loaned to USL Championship side Hartford Athletic for the remainder of the season.[25] He made his debut for Hartford on August 24, a 3–2 win over Atlanta United 2. Cropper started the final nine games of the season for Hartford, keeping one clean sheet.[24]

On November 21, 2019, New England declined their contract option on Cropper.[26]

Houston Dynamo

On January 24, 2020, Cropper signed with MLS club Houston Dynamo.[27] He did not make any appearances for the Dynamo in 2020, serving as the backup for Marko Marić.[28] His contract option was declined by Houston following their 2020 season.[29]
