Known for his exceptional forward runs from right-back as much as his defending, the attack-minded player made 41 competitive appearances for the Seasiders in the 2024/25 campaign, scoring on one occasion in November's 2-1 home win over Prescot Cables.

Connor was also a key member of the squad that made it to the First Round of the Emirates FA Cup in 2023, playing in every game on the road to that tie at Bristol Rovers.

Whitby Town manager, Gary Liddle, said: "Connor had another very consistent season last year and showed quality in various positions for us.

"He's always available which is great for any manager and he is as reliable as they come.

"He loves playing for Whitby Town so it was an easy decision all round on both sides to stay."
