Jon Stead had achieved plenty during a 17-year professional career before signing for Harrogate Town in the summer of 2019.

A former England Under-21 international, the veteran striker played and scored goals in the Premier League for Blackburn, Sunderland and Sheffield United, racking up more than 600 senior apperances across all of English football’s top four tiers.

He played a big part in helping hometown club Huddersfield get promoted out of League Two back in 2003/04 and was also a member of the 2015 Bradford City team who stunned Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea in the FA Cup.
