The 21-year-old netted three times in 18 appearances with City after initially joining on a season-long loan in the summer window before it was cut short.

He started last term on loan at Oxford City in the National League.

Nine goals in 22 games saw him earn a move to the EFL where he spent the second half of the season on loan at Sutton United, netting four times. Harrogate chief Simon Weaver added: "We’re delighted he’s chosen us for his next loan spell, he’s young, aspirational and is just the type of character we want in the building.

“He has got bags of pace, an alert brain and an awareness when it comes to attacking the box at the right time, I think there’s a goalscorer in there and he’ll really benefit from playing for us.”
