Whitby Town Signing Ahead of Cup Game

Whitby Town have completed the signing of full back Andre Bennett.

Bennett returns to the Towbar Express Stadium @ The Turnbull after making a solitary appearance against Mickleover in 2020 before the season was halted due to the pandemic.

Most recently with Sunderland RCA, Bennett will go straight into the squad for Whitby's North Riding Senior Cup tie away at Boro Rangers on Wednesday.

Blues boss Nathan Haslam said:

"He's a player I've worked with ever since he left Middlesbrough.

"I had him at Bishop Auckland and Whitley Bay, technically he's very good and has a footballing brain.

"He knows everything about me and how I work, what my expectations are, so it's an opportunity for Andre to come in and do well.

"With Soni [Fergus] being out for as long as he is, he's got a chance to do well and secure a deal with us."
