Squad

Mark Oxley damages knee ligaments — 139 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 139 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Liam Gibson hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Harrogate Town can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Sammy Henia-Kamau gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Sammy Henia-Kamau has just signed for Harrogate Town, and for once the answer mattered.

Match

3 matches without a goal for Harrogate Town

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad

Tempers go at Harrogate Town

Jacob Slater was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

George Thomson gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Fleetwood Town take the points off Harrogate Town

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market

Harrogate Town sign Sammy Henia-Kamau, one for the future

Sammy Henia-Kamau is 20, and Harrogate Town have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Player ratings

Elkan Baggott will replay that one

1 error, one goal, and a night in front of the same three seconds. He will see it tonight, tomorrow and probably in February, and everybody who has played knows exactly which frame he keeps stopping on.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

11 seasons of Warren Burrell

421 appearances across 11 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Harrogate Town know what they have.

Squad

George Thomson signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” George Thomson and Harrogate Town agree another 1 years.

Squad

Shawn McCoulsky in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Harrogate Town this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Harrogate Town training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Anthony O'Connor is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

Talks stall between Harrogate Town and Jack Evans

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

Nobody at Harrogate Town has picked up the phone to Anthony O'Connor

24 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

In brief
