The 25-year-old joined the Seasiders in March 2018.

Originally with Sunderland, he then spent time in Scotland with Dundee United, where he mainly played for the under-23s and had loan spells with Peterhead, Brechin City and Arbroath.

He returned to England in the summer of 2017 to join York City.

Darlington manager Alun Armstrong told https://darlingtonfc.co.uk: “He’s a six foot, tough, aggressive defensively-minded left back who can also play left centre half so he will be a useful member of the squad. He came up to Blyth a few years back when he left York, but he wasn’t quite ready. We’ve always kept an eye on him, and he went and established himself in the league below with Whitby where he’s done very well and has been one of their most consistent performers. He’s a local lad which is a bonus”.
