Harrogate Town star Anthony O’Connor has signed a new contract to keep him at the club until the end of the 2026/27 season.
The centre back has made 118 appearances since signing in January 2023.
He has also been named both away travel and independent supporters club player of the season during his time at The Exercise Stadium.
O’Connor said:
“I’m glad to have committed my future here, it’s always somewhere I’ve seen myself staying.
“It’s a great place to play football, I can’t speak highly enough of the place, there’s great people behind the scenes and we’ve got a good side building now.
“It’s a new season and everyone wants promotion, but we’ve got to take it game by game, get a strong pre-season behind us and build on what we’ve done in the second half of last season.
“I think I’m getting better as I’m getting older, I put that down to the environment I’m playing in and that I’m enjoying my football and working with good people.”

Head of Player Recruitment Lloyd Kerry added:
"He’s been a key player for us over the last two seasons, he’s been solid as a rock, he’s dominant and a fans favourite so we’re delighted to have him tied down for another two years.
“Ant and Jasper [Moon] built up a good relationship last season so it was important to extend his contract and now we’ll look to get a partner in for him.”
