Scarborough Athletic Sign Midfielder

Scarborough Athletic have announced the signing of experienced midfielder, Michael Woods, following his departure from Blyth Spartans.

The club say the 34 year old midfielder will add experience to the side, following a lengthy career in the EFL and non-league, with former clubs including two spells with Harrogate Town, Hartlepool United, Dover Athletic, York City and South Shields.

The veteran midfielder made over fifty appearances for South Shields over the past two seasons, scoring double figures in this time and won promotion from the National League North with York City via play-offs in the preceding season.

The signing comes ahead of Boro's home game against Brackley Town this evening.

Brackley sit in 9th place in the league, just a couple of points outside the play-off places.

The last time the Seadogs met The Saints was in December last year, with a goal from Aidan Rutledge away at St James Park giving the Seadogs the victory before Christmas. The Seadogs also came up trumps at home, winning 2-1.

Kick off at the Scarborough Sports village is at 7:45pm and tickets are available to purchase online in advance or on the gate on match day. https://scarboroughathleticfc.ktckts.com/event/sca2425h10/brackley-town
