The club is delighted to announce the signing of attacking midfielder Harley Curtis.
Harley signed a 2 year scholarship contract at Ipswich Town in July 2019, before earning a 1 year professional contract in June 2021 after playing a pivotal role in Town Under-18's excellent run to the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup in 2020/21, notably scoring the winner against Fulham in the third round.
While at Ipswich, Harley, who also featured for the club's Under-21's, and was loaned out to Braintree Town in March 2023, before leaving Town to join Chesterfield last summer, making 6 appearances in the Spireites National League title winning campaign before joining Kings Lynn Town on loan, for the second half of last season.
Assistant Manager Tom Rothery told the club website, "from the initial conversations with Harley I thought we had a good chance as I think we both will be good for each other. Harley and his agent Cos have been excellent throughout and to be able to add someone of Harley’s quality to the squad is a big coup for us."
"His ability to play in any of the forward positions is a massive attraction to us alongside his quality and his experience from last season at Chesterfield despite not playing lots will be good for us and the fact he is a local lad will help him also. I am really excited to see what Harley will bring and should be an exciting one for the supporters."
Harley also spoke to the club website, adding, "I’ve had conversations with players and staff around the club and it had caught my eye."
"After a great previous season I’m hoping the club can continue that form and have a good season in the National League North and win games."
The club would like to welcome Harley, and look forward to seeing in action for the club.
