The Middlesbrough-born goalkeeper first represented Whitby during the 2006-07 campaign and later returned for the 2018/19 season. He now rejoins the club once again, adding experience, leadership and familiarity to Lee Bullock's squad.

Having spent many years playing at non-league level, Norton is expected to provide valuable support both on the pitch and in the dressing room as Whitby prepare for the new campaign.

Speaking after sealing his return, Norton said he was delighted to be back at the club.

"Whitby was always a club that I was fond of and I enjoyed my time there," he said. "Coming back was a no brainer.

"I had other offers on the table but speaking to Lee (Bullock), my decision was made as soon as I came off the phone. It was an easy one."

Norton's return is likely to be welcomed by supporters, with the goalkeeper well known to many around the club following his previous spells in blue.
