Harrogate Town transfer latest: Ex-Grimsby Town winger Jake Wright becomes tenth summer arrival

HARROGATE TOWN'S signings count has extended into double figures for the summer following their capture of former Grimsby Town winger Jake Wright.

The 24-year-old has joined following a successful trial period where he has impressed in three friendly games in a right wing-back role to earn a permanent contract.

Wright broke into the Mariners' line-up in 2019-20 and secured a two-year contract that summer.

Injury issues have hampered his progress at Blundell Park since, with his deal finishing at Grimsby at the end of June.

He said: "It's a massive change, but one I think is for the better for me, I'm really excited to see what I can do for Harrogate.

"I've enjoyed all my three games here so far and thankfully it has been enough to earn a contract.

"I want to bring excitement on the pitch, I like to go out and drive at people, I'm very attacking and always look to get the ball into the box.

"I want to play as many games as possible, help the team keep clean sheets and score as many goals as possible, while helping out scoring and setting up as many goals as I can."

So far this summer, Harrogate have brought in five defenders in the shape of Kyle Ferguson, Joe Mattock, Miles Welch-Hayes, Jaheim Headley and Lewis Richards alongside a new keeper in Peter Jameson.

Josh Austerfield, Matty Daly, Stephen Dooley will provide options further up the pitch.
