Harrogate Town AFC

 Watch Jack Diamond's first interview since returning to Town!
 


Diamond on why Harrogate was his preferred destination…

It feels great to be back. It's been nice to see some familiar faces and be back in a good place.

The move presents a good challenge for myself knowing I've already done a lot here and I suppose I finished on quite a high. To come back it could be seen as a bit comfortable but I think it's more of a challenge than anything knowing that I have to replicate what I've done previously.

It was a factor in making my decision (knowing a large amount of the squad before signing) but the main thing is the football. It's good to have friends here already but at the end of the day everyone has ambitions of making it in the game.

On what he learned during his first loan spell in the 2019/20 season…

I grew up a lot as a player. There were ups and downs and then finding consistency which was especially key for a player like me. I think all the lads helped me so much with bits of advice. There's no time in football to stay still, you've got to always keep improving yourself and coming here on loan, I think it's one of the best things to do.

On looking forward to playing in front of the Town fans…

It'll be great. It's always nice when you have the fans on your side, especially when you've been made so welcome by everyone so I think this season will be a good and enjoyable experience again.
