Simon Ainge (Captain)

2010 acquisition from Bradford Park Avenue, previously with Bradford City where he made several 1^st team appearances. Versatile, quick and good in the air. At the beginning of the 2010-11 season, manager Steve Kittrick handed Ainge the captain’s armband, which he has made his own ever since with his commanding and committed team performances. He captained the club to its highest ever finish and led the Lions out for the Blue Square Bet North play-off final in against AFC Telford United in 2011.

Dave Merris

Dave is one of the club’s most loyal servants having been with the club for two seasons in the Unibond and now starting his second in the Blue Square Bet North. Before Guiseley, he was Player-of-the-Year and Fans’-Player-of-the-Year at York and made over 250 appearances for Harrogate, winning the Unibond Premier with them.  A tireless worker both at left back and in midfield, Merris’ cultured left foot and dogged determination have once again made him a favourite with the fans at Guiseley. He won Player of the Year in 2010/11.
