COREY ROPER, MIDFIELD COREY , A FORMER

PLAYER OF THE SEASON, RETURNED TO TADCASTER TWO YEARS AGO HAVING LEFT THE BREWERS AT THE END OF THE 2018/19 SEASON

WHEN AN OFFER TO TEST HIMSELF AT NORTHERN

PREMIER LEAGUE WHITBY TOWN, PROVED

IRRESISTIBLE. HOWEVER, INCREASED WORK COMMITMENTS AND ASSOCIATED TRAVELLING WERE OUR GOOD FORTUNE. HE JOINED LEEDS

UNITED AS A JUNIOR AT THE AGE OF SEVEN, GOING ONTO PLAY FOR THEIR UNDER 18 AND

UNDER 21 TEAMS. IN 2014 HE JOINED

WREXHAM FOR THREE SEASONS. A DEAD BALL SPECIALIST, A TOUGH MIDFIELD DYNAMO WHO LEADS BY EXAMPLE.

DAN HARTLEY, CENTRAL DEFENCE DAN STARTED WITH US TOWARDS THE END OF THE

2019/20 SEASON AND WE HAVE SEEN HIM

DEVELOP CONSISTENTLY TO BECOME A FIRST TEAM REGULAR. HE SHOWS COMMITMENT AND

TENACITY FAR BEYOND HIS YEARS DAN ATTENDED THE UFCA IN LEEDS AND EVOLUTION

SPORTS ACADEMY BEFORE JOINING HARROGATE TOWN UNDER 23S, WHICH HE CAPTAINED. ALTHOUGH A NATURAL CENTRAL DEFENDER, DAN IS EQUALLY ADEPT ON EITHER SIDE AND HIS ABILITY TO GET DOWN THE FLANKS IS A BONUS, AS ARE HIS THROW INS. CALM ON THE BALL - A ROCK IN DEFENCE.
