Crawler not producing any output - python-3.x

Question

Building my first web scraper. I'm simply trying to get a list of names and append them to a csv file. The scraper seems to work but not as intended. Output file only produces one name which is always the last name scraped. Its always a different name when I rerun the scraper. In this case the name written to the csv file was Ola Aina.
#Create the spider class
class premSpider(scrapy.Spider):
name = "premSpider"
def start_requests(self):
# Create a List of Urls with which we wish to scrape
urls = ['https://www.premierleague.com/players']
#Iterate through each url and send it to be parsed
for url in urls:
#yield kind of acts like return
yield scrapy.Request(url = url, callback = self.parse)
def parse(self, response):
#extract links to player pages
plinks = response.xpath('//tr').css('a::attr(href)').extract()
#follow links to specific player pages
for plink in plinks:
yield response.follow(url = plink, callback = self.parse2)
def parse2(self, response):
plinks2 = response.xpath('//a[#href="stats"]').css('a::attr(href)').extract()
for link2 in plinks2:
yield response.follow(url = link2, callback = self.parse3)
def parse3(self, response):
names= response.xpath('//div[#class="name t-colour"]/text()').extract()
filepath = 'playerlinks.csv'
with open(filepath, 'w') as f:
f.writelines([name + '\n' for name in names])
process = CrawlerProcess()
process.crawl(premSpider)
process.start()

You could also use Scrapy's own "FEEDS" export..
add this just below your spider name:
custom_settings = {'FEEDS':{'results1.csv':{'format':'csv'}}}"
And modify parse3 to read as below:
def parse3(self, response):
names=response.xpath('.//div[#class="name t-colour"]/text()').get()
yield {'names':names}
