The experienced centre-back arrives from Boro Rangers, where he established himself as a key figure during a successful second spell with the Teesside outfit following his return from Guisborough Town in 2022.

A commanding presence at the heart of the defence, Dillon brings leadership, consistency and a strong understanding of the local football landscape to the Towbar Express Stadium.

Having built a reputation as a dependable defender capable of excelling both in and out of possession, Dillon adds valuable experience and competition to the Blues' back line. His performances for Boro Rangers over recent seasons have earned widespread recognition, and the club is pleased to secure his signature.

Everyone at Whitby Town would like to welcome James to the club and wish him every success.
