Whitby Town Defender Commits to Club

Whitby Town defender Connor Smith has extended his stay at the Towbar Express Stadium until the end of the 2025/26 season.

The 28-year-old has established himself as a regular in the Whitby Town side since his arrival from Marske United in 2023.

Known for his exceptional forward runs from right-back as much as his defending, the attack-minded player made 41 competitive appearances for the Seasiders in the 2024/25 campaign, scoring on one occasion in November's 2-1 home win over Prescot Cables.

Connor was also a key member of the squad that made it to the First Round of the Emirates FA Cup in 2023, playing in every game on the road to that tie at Bristol Rovers.

Whitby Town manager, Gary Liddle, said: 

"Connor had another very consistent season last year and showed quality in various positions for us."
