Harrogate Town's longest-serving player to retire
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.
