The club have confirmed the permanent signing of Ryan Qualter from Matlock Town for an undisclosed fee.
The defender, who joined the Seadogs in January 2023 for a second spell at the Seaside on loan, has made his move permanent.
Scarborough Athletic say that Qualter and both clubs are pleased the deal is finally over the line following a lengthy process to complete the move in time for the start of the new season.
The 31 year old has played for Boro before, under the stewardship of Bryan Hughes and Paul Foot, whilst on loan from Bradford Park Avenue. Qualter has since gone on to play for Shaw Lane, Boston United, Alfreton and Matlock Town, where he served as captain and was key to Matlock having the best defence in the Northern Premier League during 2021/22, conceding just 36 goals in 42 games.
Due to a change in Matlock's training location, Qualter was made available to find a new club nearer to his home and work back in January and signed for Boro until the end of the season with an option to make the move permanent subject to a fee.
The move has been ratified by the National League and FA.
