Sheffield Wednesday, Rotherham United, Huddersfield Town and Barnsley to visit Harrogate Town in pre-season

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY, Rotherham United, Huddersfield Town and Barnsley will all make trips to Harrogate Town in pre-season, the League Two outfit have confirmed.

The Sulphurites have pencilled in four friendlies against White Rose opposition at the EnviroVent Stadium next month, kicking off with an opener against the Owls on Friday, July 8 (7pm).

It will represent Wednesday's first-ever visit to the stadium and just the second meeting between the clubs, with Harrogate - managed by ex-Owls defender Simon Weaver - heading to Hillsborough in a Papa John's Trophy fixture last season.
