Harrogate Town sign Bradford City left-back Matty Foulds and Crewe Alexandra's Rod McDonald

Matty Foulds made 21 appearances on loan at Harrogate Town last season having joined in January

Harrogate Town have signed left-back Matty Foulds from Bradford City for an undisclosed fee as well as Crewe Alexandra's Rod McDonald.

Foulds, 25, spent the latter half of the 2022-23 season on loan at Harrogate and joins on a two-year deal.

Meanwhile, McDonald, 31, also links up with Harrogate on a two-year deal after making 36 appearances for Crewe.

"Speaking to the gaffer I quickly realised that his aspirations are very similar to what I want," Foulds said.

"I came in for the second half of last season and absolutely loved it so it was a no-brainer for me to come here."

McDonald had been offered a new deal by the Alex but opted to make the move to Harrogate.

Assistant boss Paul Thirlwell added: "Rod is very dominant, very aggressive and he can play as well, so he's a player we feel will fit in really well to the squad."
