Harrogate Town confirm the re-signing of Sam Folarin
The forward has agreed to a new one-year contract with the club
Harrogate Town AFC have confirmed that Sam Folarin has signed a new one-year contract with the club.
The versatile forward, who scored eight goals in all competitions last season, has committed his future to the yellow & black by putting pen-to-paper this week.
Speaking to the club’s website, Simon Weaver said:
“As a coaching staff, we are extremely pleased to have secured Sam’s services for another season.
“It’s a big year for Sam in his development as a footballer. If he gets it right and gets himself fit then he is a huge asset to this football club.
“I would like to think Sam and the people around him recognise the history this club has with developing young players. We want to be a springboard for players of his quality to kick-on in the rest of their careers.”
Town’s number 12 added:
“I am very grateful to have signed a new contract with the club, it was a no-brainer to stay here and continue my development. Personally speaking, I started the last campaign well and was a little bit unfortunate with the injury I picked up.
"The Gaffer and Thirs have given me strong backing in my time here. Last season, they played me up front which was a little bit of an unusual role for me. They backed me and gave me confidence, I ended up scoring a few goals from that position as well.
"Pre-season is going to be really important for me. We have a lot of competition for places across the forward line so I want to use that to my advantage and push my game on again."
The club has also confirmed the pre-season fixtures against Huddersfield and Lincoln at The EnviroVent Stadium:
Huddersfield – Saturday 13th July, 3pm
Lincoln – Saturday 27th July, 3pm
