Jack Diamond, Harrogate Town

Former Harrogate Town player Jack Diamond has been charged with rape.

Northumbria Police confirmed today Gateshead-born Mr Diamond had been charged with one count of rape and one count of sexual assault.

He joined Lincoln City on loan from parent club Sunderland after a second loan spell at Harrogate ended last year.

Lincoln City have terminated his contract and parent club Sunderland have suspended him pending the outcome of the judicial process.

A Northumbria Police spokesperson said:

“In May last year, we received a report that a woman had been sexually assaulted inside an address in the Washington area.
“An investigation was immediately launched and a man was subsequently arrested.
“Jack Diamond, 23, of Fatfield, Washington, has now been charged with one count of rape and one count of sexual assault and is due to appear at South Tyneside Magistrates’ Court in May.”


Mr Diamond played for Town on loan during their National League campaign in 2019-20, scoring one of the goals at Wembley that earned promotion to the English Football League for the first time ever.

He returned to the club on loan during the 2021-22 season in League Two of the English Football League.

In his two loan spells, he scored 16 goals in 66 appearances.

A Lincoln City statement said:

"Jack Diamond’s loan spell at City has been terminated with immediate effect.
"The club are unable to make any further statement at this time."
