Whitby Town Seal New Deal with Defender

Whitby Town Football Club have announced that Lewis Ritson has signed a new one-year contract with the club.

The deal will keep the defender at the Towbar Express Stadium @ The Turnbull Ground until the end of the 2023/24 season.

Following 18 months out with an ACL injury, centre-half Ritson is now hoping to get his first full campaign with Town under his belt.

Having made a steady return to action for the Blues, the club are keen to see Ritson show his true potential following a bright start to life in a Town shirt prior to his long-term injury.

And the defender is delighted the club has shown faith in him to continue his comeback in a blue shirt.

Ritson said:

"I'm really happy to put pen to paper,"

"I'm delighted that the club has shown this faith in me to get back to where I was before I got the injury.

"I'm feeling good after coming back, I've got a few minutes under my belt and I've started to build things up.

"Anything from now until the end of the season I'll take, but game-by-game I'm feeling stronger."
