Gainsborough Trinity midfielder Harry Middleton has earned a new deal for the coming season after impressing management duo Liam King and Ross Hannah.

After joining the Holy Blues last season from Alfreton, Middleton went on to make 20 appearances for the Northern Premier League Premier Division outfit.

And after missing out on the play-offs last season by a single point, Liam King believes the 24-year-old may give them the edge.

“Ross and I gave Harry some targets over the summer and he has gone away and worked incredibly hard,” he told the club’s website.

“He has come back in fantastic shape and integrated into the side brilliantly, so obviously we’re delighted to secure his services for the season.”
