Morpeth Town can confirm the departure of striker Ben Harmison, who has joined National League North side Blyth Spartans.

The forward netted four times in 17 appearances for the Highwaymen this season, and leaves with the best wishes of all those associated with the club.

“Ben is a fantastic lad who will be missed both on and off the pitch,” manager Nick Gray told the club website.

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t guarantee the game-time he wanted. I wish him all my good wishes, not just in football but as a person as he’s a top lad.”

Town travel to Basford United in the NPL Premier Division, with full match commentary available on our Mixlr page from 2.55pm.
