Former Imp Yeo Signs For Harrogate

Last updated : 08 December 2009 By Gary Hutchinson

Harrogate Town have signed former Lincoln City striker Simon Yeo.

The 36-year-old actually  joined before last Saturday's 1-0 league defeat at Eastwood, but was ruled out through personal circumstances.

Harrogate boss Simon Weaver told BBC Radio York: "Up front, you need to stick the chances away when you get them, it's where quality shows."

Weaver has had former Boston man Kieron Leabon up front, but he's returned to his parent club and left a big gap up front which Weaver hopes Yeo can fill.

Yeo has joined the club from Droylsden, whom he joined in the summer after retiring from professional football. He also turned out recently for the Imps fans team in an impressive 6-1 win over Lincoln College.

Weaver said "I need goals, that is all thats going to get us out of the bottom three".

Another former Imp Ollie Ryan is also on Harrogates books, although he has been unable to recapture the scoring form he showed at Boston Utd.
