Harrogate Town midfielder Levi Sutton ruled out for rest of 2024/25 season with hamstring issue
Levi Sutton will not play for Harrogate Town again this season after a scan revealed the severity of the hamstring injury he sustained against Carlisle United.
The 27-year-old central midfielder was forced from the field in the first half of March 8’s 1-0 home win over the Cumbrians at Wetherby Road.
And manager Simon Weaver has subsequently revealed that the damage done means that there is no possibility of Sutton returning before the club’s final League Two fixture of 2024/25, which takes place away at Morecambe on May 3.
"He is ruled out for the remaining weeks of the season,” the Town boss said.
"It’s another blow for us, I think that Levi has been brilliant since that Barrow return for him [in early January].
"He has kept his form at a very consistent level.”
Sutton’s injury came just days after Tom Hill, another central midfielder, was ruled out for the rest of the campaign with a hamstring pull he picked up during the closing stages of March 4’s goalless draw at Port Vale.
"It’s another midfielder, unfortunately,” Weaver added.
"But, we have got good strength in depth, and it is an opportunity for someone to step into the breach and prove their worth as well.
"It is a good job that this is an area of the pitch where we are blessed with some depth – we have some good players and some quality lads, so we do have options.”
Meanwhile, experienced forward Jack Muldoon remains sidelined with an eye ulcer, with long-term midfield casualty George Thomson still working his way back from an achilles problem that he suffered on the opening day of the season.
