Nathan Thomas leaves Whitby Town to take up coaching job

The 30-year-old, who played youth football for Sunderland and Newcastle United, joined the Seasiders during the 2023-24 season from Marske United and accumulated 48 appearances for Whitby, scoring on 14 occasions across his two years with the club.

He followed in the footsteps of Gary Liddle, taking up a coaching opportunity during a lengthy injury lay-off.

But with an opportunity arising elsewhere for the former Hartlepool and Carlisle winger, Thomas had called time on his spell at the Towbar Express Stadium.

Liddle said: "I'd like to thank Nathan for his time with us both playing and coaching.

"He has now taken up an opportunity in a different part of the country which wouldn't make working with us viable anymore.

"We wish him the best of luck in his future career."
