Whitby Town Returnee Targets Play-offs Then Fifth Player Leaves

Aaron Haswell, who's the latest player to commit to another season at Whitby Town, says the play-offs are the team's target, though top-scorer Junior Mondal confirmed to be leaving the club.

He becomes the fifth Whitby Town player confirmed to not be with the Blues next season, following on from centre-half Danny Rowe, who has joined Spennymoor Town, with midfielder Adam Gell and strikers Jerome Greaves and Brad Fewster also not staying.

A club statement read:

Whitby Town can confirm that Junior Mondal has left the club to take up an offer at a higher level upon the expiry of his contract.

The attacker, who joined for his second spell with the club last summer, played a pivotal part in the Seasiders' run to the FA Cup First Round Proper and will be remembered for his goals particularly against Chelmsford City and Bristol Rovers.

Junior finished the campaign having netted 14 goals in 45 appearances, taking his total for the club to 29 goals in 93 appearances.

The club would like to thank Junior for his service and wish him all the best for the future.

Meanwhile, the versatile Haswell has played everywhere from left-back to up front and admitted he wants to nail down a regular place in the team.

Haswell says he's happy to sign a new contract ahead of the new season:

Haswell signed from Ossett United for an undisclosed fee in the summer of 2022.

He is the eleventh player to either come in or confirm he's staying at the club.

Defenders Gary Liddle, Mitch Parkinson and Sam Collins have all joined with Shane Bland, Connor Smith, Lewis Hawkins, Joe Wheatley, Stephen Walker, Alfie Doherty and Priestley Griffiths renewing their deals at the Towbar Express Stadium, alongside Haswell.

The versatile 23-year-old's outlined his ambitions for the team and himself:
