Ryan began his career as a trainee at Lincoln City

Harrogate Town have beaten off interest from other clubs to sign Boston United striker Ollie Ryan.

The 23-year-old arrives at Wetherby Road with an impressive tally of 22 goals in 38 appearances last season.

Manager Simon Weaver said he was delighted with Ryan's arrival: "A lot of league clubs were wanting him and it's a great result for the club."

Ryan is Weaver's sixth signing of the close season, with the promise of more to come as rebuilding continues.

He follows on from the arrivals of Matt Bloomer, also from Boston United, Dean Gent, John Lamb, Leon Scott and Dave McTiernan.

It also promises to be a busy pre-season campaign for the club with as many as 25 trialists expected to be given their chance to impress.
