    Harrogate Town's longest-serving player, Lloyd Kerry, will retire at the end of the season and join the club's staff.

    The hard-working midfielder, 33, signed from Tamworth in 2014 and has been a key cog in the team's rise up the divisions and into the English Football League for the first time.

    He's played over 220 times and helped the club win promotion from the National League North and the National League, starting in the memorable Wembley play-off final against Notts County in August 2020.

    He lifted a trophy at Wembley again last year in the FA Trophy and manager Simon Weaver said in a statement he will go down as a "club legend" for his achievements and service.

    Kerry's last game will be on the final day of the season when Harrogate Town host Sutton United on May 7.

    He will take up a new role at the club as head of player recruitment, scouting players for the first team and the academy.

    Kerry said:

    "I look back to when I first joined this football club in 2014 to where it is now eight years on and it’s unbelievable how far we’ve come and the success we’ve had! I’m grateful to have been on that journey which has created so much history for this club, I can always look back with pride of what we achieved together.
    "We’ve made memories that will last us a lifetime and to have played my part is something I’ll never forget."


    Chairman, Irving Weaver also paid tribute to the midfielder. He said:

    "Together we have enjoyed some great moments, particularly promotions and winning the FA Trophy. Lloyd moves on to a new roll with the club, now responsible for scouting and recruiting new players and he’s already beginning to make his mark, just like he has in 220+ games for Town."
