Harrogate Town have made further additions to their squad as they prepare for the new season.
Goalkeeper Craig Dootson arrives at the CNG Stadium from Fleetwood Town after turning down an offer of full time football at the Fylde club. A player that Town have attempted to sign on previous occasions, the Preston born player started his football career with Bamber Bridge before moving on to Leigh RMI and Stalybridge Celtic. He then moved into the football league with Bury, and followed his time at Gigg Lane with spells at Hyde United and Alfreton Town.
Strikers Aiden Savory and Liam Hardy have also put pen to paper. Aiden joins us from Bradford (Park Avenue) where he was their leading scorer with 21 goals last season. Leeds born Aiden has also previously played for Ossett Town. Liam has signed for Harrogate Town from Armthorpe Welfare. He was the Northern Counties East Premier League Golden Boot winner last season with 36 league goals.
Welcome to the CNG Stadium!
Surprised about the Dootson signing after he seemed to run off to Fleetwood for more money after we'd 'signed' him - still looks to be the end for either Hernandez or Ratchford, I'm guessing we'd keep one as a backup.
Haven't heard much about the two strikers but sounds liek their good goalscorers - lets hope its not another false dawn as Ollie Ryan turned out to be. With these two strikers, Ellington and Armstrong surely that our forward line for next year, to start the season with anyway. Lets hope Weaver doesn't go on another transfer bender and they can settle in a bit.
Good signings by the sounds of it though and credit where credits due well done to Weaver and the board for the signings so far.
