Levi Sutton confident of helping Harrogate Town reach ‘another level’ after signing new contract


The 27-year-old midfielder made 43 appearances in all competitions for the Sulphurites last term as they mounted a genuine challenge for the play-offs before eventually achieving their highest-ever League Two finish.
And having joined Sam Folarin and Stephen Dooley in agreeing a deal that will keep him at Wetherby Road for another year, he is aiming to help the club continue on its upward trajectory.

“Looking back at last season, there were a lot of positives to take and that was something I wanted to be a part of again next season.
“Of course, we want to build on those positives and take things to another level. Looking at the quality we have, I think we are capable of doing that.
“I want to play as many games as I can over the course of next season. To do that, I need to take things game by game and make sure I am ready for that first league game.”

Hide AdTown’s Head of Player Recruitment, Lloyd Kerry, was instrumental in lining up the deal which saw Sutton join Harrogate from Yorkshire rivals Bradford in January 2023.
And the ex-Sulphurites midfielder said that both he and first-team manager Simon Weaver are thrilled that the player is sticking around for at least one more year.
“We’re delighted to have Levi signed up for another season,” he said.
“Since arriving at the club he’s been an important and a reliable player for us, he gives us energy, pace and bite in the middle of the park.

On the decisions of those three out-of-contract players to accept offers to remain with Town for 2024/25, Kerry added: “Levi, Stephen and Sam have all chosen to extend their contracts with us which was really important business for us.
“They know the club, the coaches and how they work.
“Speaking with them they have all stated how much they enjoy playing for the football club and we feel like that is something which bodes well.”
