Harrogate sign ex-Sunderland winger Taylor

Ellis Taylor did not make a senior appearance for Sunderland

Harrogate Town have signed former Sunderland winger Ellis Taylor on a two-year deal.

The 21-year-old scored as a trialist in a friendly against Huddersfield Town last weekend.

Taylor previously spent time on loan with Hartlepool United and is Harrogate's third signing of the summer.

“He’s an exciting player, can play off both feet, likes to make things happen and it feels like a good fit for us," said head of recruitment Lloyd Kerry.

“He impressed us against Huddersfield, scored his goal and got in great areas, when he got the ball he tried to make things happen, he’s very versatile he can play left wing, right wing and at wing-back so we’re delighted to have him here.”
