Jonathan Mitchell: Harrogate Town goalkeeper extends deal until end of season

Jonathan Mitchell injured a knee which has limited his involvement since joining Harrogate

Goalkeeper Jonathan Mitchell has extended his contract with Harrogate Town until the end of the season.

The 29-year-old was signed in November because of the absence of Mark Oxley, but has been limited to six appearances since sustaining a knee injury.

Mitchell, who began his career at Newcastle, has played for Northampton, Derby and Doncaster among other clubs.

Manager Simon Weaver praised Mitchell's "attitude and application" since joining the Sulphurites.

"He was under a lot of pressure on a short-term contract," Weaver told the club website. "But he showed his mettle and I think that is something which deserves rewarding."

On Thursday, Harrogate re-signed goalkeeper James Belshaw for an undisclosed fee from Bristol Rovers.
