He joins the Reds as player/head coach and becomes new manager Nathan Rooney’s fourth summer signing, following Alex Coleman, Jamie Cooke and striker Reece Webb-Foster.

Cannon-Noren signed for Colne`s league rivals Runcorn Linnets in August 2019 before switching to another league rival, Droylsden, just before Christmas 2019.

He started out in home-town club Southport's youth team before playing in the under-23s at Morecambe, from where he moved to Clitheroe on loan.

His other former clubs include AFC Liverpool, who he joined in January of last year.

He was a development squad member at Liverpool as a 12-year-old, transferring to Blackpool aged 13.

He helped his high school team to national championship success.

A natural athlete, who was also a promising sprinter in school days, he uses his speed and strength to good effect on the football field. Although primarily a right-sided player, he can operate anywhere across midfield.

Rooney told https://www.colnefootballclub.com: “Harry’s a versatile right sided player with a great engine and the ability to beat players in a 1v1. Most importantly, his character and his attitude to the game is something that will enhance our team culture this season.

“I’m delighted to get this signing secured. Harry is a great addition to our squad, an athlete who’s strong in a number of positions, who also has an eye for a goal”.
