New strike partners Jason Bradley and Peter Knox earned Harrogate Town their first league win since mid-September, beating Hinckley United 3-1.

Hinckley's half-time lead was wiped out as Knox struck on 62 and 88 minutes, and set up Bradley's goal in between.

Town manager Simon Weaver told BBC Radio York: "In the second half we introduced more width to our play and I was delighted with the display."

Harrogate moved three points clear of the bottom of Blue Square North.

Weaver admitted: "I'd seen (Hinckley) play before Christmas and they proved again to be a good side.

"In the first half we had to weather a storm, and then we changed the tactics a little."

On Knox, Weaver added: "He looks like a raging bull up front, but he's got pace to burn as well.

"He's got all those physical ingredients to be a good, powerful strong centre-forward, and he took his two goals well."
