Harrogate Town have signed their former midfielder Richard Dunning for a second spell with the club.

The 28-year-old previously played for Harrogate Town for three seasons starting from 2003.

Dunning has moved back to Harrogate from Eastwood Town after also spending time in his career with Guiseley, Whitby Town and Blackburn Rovers.

Manager Simon Weaver told BBC Radio York: "He's a streetwise player and we're delighted to have him on board."

He added: "I've been trying to bring in a little bit of experience over the last couple of weeks. It's been quite evident in the last couple of games we've lacked strength and experience and an older head running through the core of the team.

"Fortunately Richard was available. I played against him last year when he was at Eastwood and he's a leader."

Weaver hopes to add more players to his squad before Saturday's game against Northwich Victoria at the CNG Stadium.
