Whitby Town Secure Signature of Forward Marley Grant

Whitby Town Secure Signature of Forward Marley Grant

Liam Ryder8 Jun - 18:30

Whitby Town is pleased to announce the signing of exciting forward Marley Grant ahead of the 2026/27 season.

Comfortable operating as either a striker or winger, Grant arrives with a growing reputation as a dynamic attacking player whose pace, direct running and selfless approach in the final third have made him a standout performer wherever he has played.

The forward returned to the UK in August 2024 and quickly made an impact, announcing himself to the Sherwood Colliery supporters with a crucial equalising goal against Stocksbridge Park Steels on debut.

Since then, he has continued to showcase his attacking quality, delivering a number of eye-catching performances and establishing himself as one of the most dangerous forwards in the Pitching In Northern Premier League Division One East.

Among the highlights of Grant's recent campaign were two memorable hat-trick displays. The first came in a commanding 6-0 victory over AFC Mansfield, before he followed it up with another treble in an impressive 5-0 win against Heanor Town. Those performances underlined both his clinical finishing and his ability to influence games at the highest level.

While his goalscoring record speaks for itself, Grant offers much more than goals alone. His explosive pace on the flank creates problems for defenders, while his intelligent movement and willingness to bring teammates into play make him a valuable asset across the front line.

Whether operating wide or through the middle, he consistently combines attacking threat with a strong work ethic and team-first mentality.

Everyone at Whitby Town would like to extend a warm welcome to Marley and wish him every success during his time at the club.
