Harrogate Town defender Warren Burrell has signed a new two-year contract with the League Two club.

The 34-year-old has made more than 350 appearances for the club in all competitions and has been named captain ahead of next season.

He takes over from Josh Falkingham who will no longer hold a playing role with the club.

"I'm delighted, the club means a lot to me, I've been here a long time now and I'm glad that journey is continuing," Burrell said.

"To be captain is a proud day for myself and my family, it means a lot to me wearing the armband and I hope I can do it justice because Falks was a great captain and a great leader."
