Harrogate Town’s newest forward Eno Nto has joined Town on a month-to-month contract, and hours after signing, scored the opener in the team's 2-2 draw at the Exercise stadium on Tuesday night against Blackpool.
Born in Derby, Enomfon Uzoma Azuma Nto came through the ranks at The Rams' Academy and featured for the club at U18 level in their 2018/19 title winning season, as well as in the UEFA Youth League.
Nto then decided to continue his career in The USA with Notre Dame Fighting Irish, but would rejoin his boyhood club midway through the 2023/24 campaign.
