Sam Lingard has returned to Garforth Town ahead of the season’s opening fixture at Sunderland RCA.
Lingard briefly played for Garforth last season after leaving Pickering Town.
The no-nonsense defender can also be deployed as a centre-back.
Goalkeeper Stephen Weatherill has signed for Garforth after ending a two-year spell on the sidelines due to injury.
The former Knaresborough Town and Harrogate Railway man will provide competition and back-up for first choice ‘keeper Paul Hagreen.
