Three Whitby Town players have confirmed they're staying at the club after signing new contracts or contract extensions at the NPL Premier club.
The Seasiders confirmed Joe Wheatley, Priestley Griffiths and Stephen Walker were all staying put ahead of the new season.
Signed from Bishop Auckland in 2021, 27-year-old Griffiths, who can play in midfield or at right-back, is the longest-serving of the trio.
Wheatley, also 27, is a midfielder signed from Spennymoor last year after a successful loan spell, he came up through the ranks at Middlesbrough.
23-year-old Walker represented England at Under-17, 18 and 19 level after also coming through the ranks at Middlesbrough. He's also played in the Football League for Crewe, Tranmere Rovers and MK Dons.
Goalkeeper Shane Bland signed a new contract last month.
