Ex-Seadog Signs For Whitby Ahead Of New Season

Following on from Jake Charles yesterday, another former Scarborough Athletic star has committed to Whitby Town for the new campaign.

Whitby Town midfielder Michael Woods has signed a new contract with the club until the summer of 2026.

 

The 35-year-old joined the Seasiders from Scarborough Athletic in February 2025 and made a scoring debut that month against Leek Town. Woods made seven appearances in all competitions on the way to helping Gary Liddle's side survive relegation from the Pitching In Northern Premier League.

 

Woods scored two times in total, with his winner at Leek being added to by a strike at Mickleover in March.

 

On signing his new deal, Woods said:

"I'm delighted to get sorted for next season. I've loved every minute since arriving at the club.

 

"I can't wait to get started again. I think all the lads really enjoy playing under the gaffer and his staff.

 

"Hopefully we can carry on the momentum from where we finished off last season."

 

Manager Gary Liddle added:

"Woodsy brings a wealth of experience into the group with him. He played a huge role on and off the field in securing our safety last season.

 

"He played with a broken foot which showed his commitment to the cause and I've no doubt he'll be a huge player for us next season."
