We are delighted to announce that Guiseley Academy graduate defender Ollie Brown has signed a new two year deal with the club.

Ollie has commited himself to the Lions for the 2026/27 and 2027/28 campaigns as he looks to add to his 164 appearances as he enters his sixth and seventh seasons with the first team.

Brown reached the landmark 150th appearance last season in his second spell at Nethermoor.

Before the 2024/25 season the defender, who can also play in midfield, hadn’t struck a goal for the club but now has four to his name having netted twice in the last two campaigns.

Brown broke through to the first team in the Covid-19 hit 2020/21 campaign, a season where he led the Academy to a landmark FA Youth Cup win at Bolton Wanderers’ Toughsheet Community Stadium.

Ollie then made 30 appearances in the following season, at the end of the 2021/22 campaign he joined Alfreton Town. After not being involved in the early stages of the season Brown moved to Atherton Collieries on loan where he remained for the rest of the campaign.

The academy graduate was then brought back to Nethermoor for his second spell and capped off the last two campaigns by winning the Young Player of the Season as well as being named the 2025/26 Craig Shearstone Guiseley AFC Supporters’ Club Player of the Season.

More player retentions ahead of the 2026/27 season will follow in the coming days.
