Midfielder Moves From Scarborough Athletic to Whitby Town

Friday, 14 February 2025 12:00

Whitby Town have signed Michael Woods from Scarborough Athletic, initially until the end of the 2024/25 season.

The 34-year-old central midfielder has spent this season with both the Seadogs in the National League North, along with Blyth Spartans in the Pitching In Northern Premier League.

Throughout an illustrious career, Woods has also represented Yeovil Town, Doncaster Rovers, Harrogate Town, Dover Athletic, York City and South Shields.

Woods featured 144 times for Hartlepool United between 2014 and 2018, netting on 18 occasions.

On securing the services of Woods, Whitby Town manager Gary Liddle said:

"Woodsy is someone I have huge admiration for as both a player and a person ever since we met as teammates three years ago at South Shields.

“He’s a big signing for us as he has huge pedigree at higher levels and someone with his experience and quality will drive up standards for himself and his teammates around him at all times.

“He’s excited to be joining Whitby Town and helping us move forward in what is a busy end to the season.”
