Harry Gardiner extends loan spell

Blyth Spartans are delighted to confirm that Harry Gardiner will remain on loan with the Club for the remainder of the 2023/24 campaign.

The 20-year-old forward has netted three goals in seven games for Spartans since arriving on his initial loan spell at the beginning of last month.

He bagged a brace on his debut during Jon Shaw's side's 3-1 win away to Bishop's Stortford and has shown plenty of promise in the frontline.

Jon Shaw commented: "We're really happy to have extended Harry's loan and I'm really enjoying working with him again.

"You can see he's an intelligent footballer, his all round game is getting better and having to deal with big experienced centre backs at this level I'm sure is playing a part.

"He works hard for the team and is leading the line well for us whilst we have injuries at the top end.

"He makes great runs and gets in to the areas you need to score goals and I'm sure he'll get plenty more before the end of the season."

The Club would like to thank Sunderland AFC in securing the services of Harry until the end of the season.
