We can confirm that defender Lewis Gardner has signed a dual registration deal with his former club Silsden.

The 19 year-old has returned to the Office Interiors Stadium to gain more experience and game time.

He worked there with Danny Forrest before joining us in the summer and featuring in several pre-season friendly games.

The Northern Counties East Premier Division side have a busy September ahead with six games scheduled for the month.

Lewis will remain available for selection in Danny Ellis and Danny Forrest’s matchday squads for the duration of this deal.

Good luck Lewis!
