Harrogate Town have confirmed their retained and released list following the conclusion of the 2024/25 season. No fewer than 14 senior members of the Sulphurites’ first-team squad are out of contract this summer, and the club will definitely be saying ‘goodbye’ to at least six of those players. Left-back Matty Foulds, midfielders Stephen Dooley, Dean Cornelius and Matty Daly, and winger James Daly have all been released by manager Simon Weaver.

An emotional Josh Falkingham paid tribute to Harrogate Town’s supporters after making his farewell appearance for the club. A strong turnout of 357 travelling fans were in attendance for the Sulphurites’ long-serving captain’s swan song, a 2-1 win at Morecambe on Saturday afternoon. After more than eight years at Wetherby Road, it was confirmed last month that 2024/25 will be the former Leeds United midfielder’s last as a player with the League Two outfit.

West Tanfield CC made it two wins out of two at the start of the 2025 Theakston Nidderdale League season when they beat Pannal by six wickets. Jonny Luty snapped up 4-22 and Jake Simpson bagged 3-34 as the visitors were knocked over for just 127, Rob Ellis top-scoring with 36. Tanfield then eased to 129/4 inside 25 overs, thanks largely to the runs of opener Harry Lamb (31) and Will Shaw (30 not out).

Opener Light plundered 124, while Will Bates weighed in with a fine 78 as the pair came together to put on a mammoth stand for the third wicket.
