Team spirit' the key to unbeaten start, says Simon Weaver

Harrogate Town Manager Simon Weaver has said that 'team spirit' in the dressing room is the key to Town's early-season success.

Harrogate Town Manager Simon Weaver has said that 'team spirit' in the dressing room is the key to Town's early-season success. The club have won three of their opening four League Two fixtures and are unbeaten going into their clash with Mansfield Town this weekend. And with his side currently in second place, Simon has said a close-knit group has been crucial to their positive start to the season. He said:

"I think the connection between the players themselves, the team spirit, is very evident.

"We attack together, we defend together. The energy of the group has been outstanding."

The club carried their league form into the Papa John's Trophy in midweek when they beat Mansfield Town 3-1 at the EnviroVent Stadium.

And ahead of their rematch in the league this weekend, Town have been boosted by the return of Wembley hero Jack Diamond on loan from Sunderland.

Speaking of his new signing, Simon said:

“It’s an exciting signing for us and we’re just thrilled to have him on board.

"Jack was integral during our promotion season and we’ve been trying to get him ever since.

"He’s a dynamic type of player, really exciting, and the fans will turn up in their droves I’m sure to see him back in yellow and black."

Harrogate Town take on Mansfield Town tomorrow (Saturday) in League Two at Field Mill. Kick off is at 3pm.
