Changes at Whitby Town FC as Club Fights to Get Off the Foot of the Table

Changes are being made at Whitby Town FC as the club tries to sort out its poor start to the season.

The club are currently bottom of the league with just one point from seven games.

Last week, joint manager Lee Bullock resigned from his footballing roles at the club.

Yesterday the blues announced the signing of former Scarborough Striker Jake Day from Matlock Town.

Jake Day says he's glad to be back on the Yorkshire Coast

Manager, Nathan Haslam, told Whitby Town TV he hopes Jake's signing will help to fix the clubs goal drought.

The 6ft 2inch striker arrives from Matlock and has signed a permanent deal at the Towbar Express Stadium @ The Turnbull Ground, subject to FA approval.

At the age of 30, Day has strong experience in non-league football, having played for Scarborough Athletic, Guiseley, Alfreton Town and Bridlington Town, along with Matlock.

His most notable career achievements so far include gaining promotion to the National League North with Yorkshire Coast rivals Scarborough via the play-offs last season, and scoring 85 goals in just 107 for Bridlington during his days there.

As the club welcomed Jake yesterday there was also a departure form the club. Striker Marcus Giles has left to join Bishop Auckland after just over two years at the Towbar Express Stadium @ The Turnbull Ground

The young forward joined the Seasiders in the summer of 2020, from Whitley Bay, and made 34 appearances for the club.

He has now signed for the Northern League side, who currently sit joint-top of the division under the management of former Whitby manager Chris Hardy.
