Ex-Imp Joins Weaver's Harrogate Town

15th June 2009

Last month, TFI reported that former Lincoln City favourite Simon Weaver had been appointed manager of Harrogate Town in a shock move.

Weaver has been thrown in at the deep end in his first managerial post as the majority of Harrogate Town's 2008/09 season's squad has departed the club. In his search for new players, Weaver has quickly enlisted the services of Matt Bloomer, who is another former Lincoln City player; the pair were part of Lincoln City's regular, albeit unsuccessful, play-off campaigns under Keith Alexander.

Bloomer, who can play practically anywhere on pitch, except goalkeeper, was a vital squad player at Lincoln between the years of 2002 to 2006. Unfortunately, despite making over 100 appearances for The Imps, he could never really cement a permanent first team place at Sincil Bank.

Weaver has also signed goalkeeper John Lamb (Ossett Town), attacking midfielder Dave McTiernan (Newcastle Blue Star), left-sided player Leon Scott (Whitby Town) as well as Bloomer.
