Squad

Aiden Marsh damages knee ligaments — 18 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 18 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.

Squad

Sam Waller stands alone

8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Devlan Moses rejects the move

Harrogate Town had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Sheffield Wednesday, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Sam Waller 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.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Harrogate Town

3 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Match

A bad afternoon for Harrogate Town against Bristol Rovers

1‑2 to Bristol Rovers, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

One of our own: Timothy Graham joins the Harrogate Town first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Timothy Graham is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Michael Walker steps up from the Harrogate Town academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Michael Walker has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Harrogate Town promote Andrew Butler from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Andrew Butler has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

In brief
