League Two newcomers Harrogate Town have signed former Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Connor Kirby.

The 21-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Macclesfield, is the club's first signing since they won promotion from the National League.

Kirby was released by Wednesday in June having made four substitute appearances in all competitions for the Owls.

"He has already shown he can do it in League Two and he'll attack it with confidence," said boss Simon Weaver.
