A trialist goalkeeper has won a deal with Scarborough Athletic just days before the opening game of the season.
The signing marks a return to Scarborough for stopper Joe Cracknell who spent time on loan with the club during the Paul Foot and Bryan Hughes era.
Cracknell left Harrogate Town at the end of last season and playing for them in the Football League.
Jonathan Greening said “A top goalkeeper has been our priority for a number of weeks now. When we heard Joe was available, given his quality and reports from his previous spell with the club, his professionalism and attitude matches what we already have in this team.
“Joe still has his best years ahead of him, playing regular football and we are delighted to have Joe between the sticks for next season.”
