Released City midfielder Olly Dyson pens permanent Spennymoor contract
RELEASED York City midfielder Olly Dyson has penned a permanent contract with Spennymoor Town. Dyson's time as a York player was confirmed to be ending after a near-five year spell with the Minstermen, which started in September 2020. Advertisement He initially joined the club from Huddersfield Town, and played a major part in the City team that gained promotion from the Enterprise National League North in the 2021/22 season. Whilst with York in the Enterprise National League, Dyson would impress in their debut campaign back in the fifth tier. The midfielder would go on to make 42 appearances, scoring four goals, before being named as York's Clubman of the Year. A turbulent 2023/24 season for City would see game time become somewhat limited for Dyson, as he made 23 appearances under three different managers across the campaign. Dyson would also have a brief spell on loan at Scarborough Athletic, which was ended early due to a foot injury. Advertisement After returning to York under manager Adam Hinshelwood, Dyson would spend the entirety of the 2024/25 campaign on loan at Spennymoor Town in the National League North, where he established himself as a crowd favourite. The 25-year-old made 45 appearances for Spennymoor, playing at both right-back and in midfield, and had the opportunity to play at Wembley Stadium in the Isuzu FA Trophy final. Whilst with Spennymoor, Dyson added to his personal trophy cabinet, scooping up both the supporters and management staff's Player of the Season awards. In total, Dyson made over 100 appearances for the Minstermen, and also earned a call-up to the England C squad during the 2022/23 season. Advertisement Spennymoor manager Graeme Lee commented on the club website: 'I'm absolutely delighted that Olly is joining us permanently. 'Everyone knows how important he was for us in our successes last season, and we were determined to do everything we could to keep him at the Football Club. 'Not only was he an asset to us on the pitch, but Olly is also a great lad to have around the place and his attitude to his training and playing is first class. 'He deserved the accolades he got last year because of his consistent performances in whatever position he played, and we're excited to see him continue that into 2025/26. Advertisement 'Things are coming together for us now in terms of the squad and this was a key piece of business for us – and one we want to build on now.' On his York departure, Dyson wrote on social media: "My time at York City FC has come to an end. "I came as a 19 year old boy and I now leave six years later with the most amazing memories and achievements I could ever of wished for. "Thank you to all the players, managers, staff and most importantly the fans of the past and present for making the club my home. "I know last year was a disappointing one on a personal note but that doesn't take away everything we achieved together over the years. "I wish the club all the success in the future. Thank you."

Olly Dyson also announces City departure after five seasons
OLLY Dyson has become the second player of the day to announce his departure from York City. Dyson, similarly to defender Adam Crookes, has confirmed on social media that he will be leaving the football club upon the expiry of his current contract. The 25-year-old midfielder initially joined York in September 2020 from Huddersfield Town, and was a part of the City team that gained promotion from the National League North in the 2021/22 season. Dyson would remain with the Minstermen in their debut season back in the National League, and would go on to be named as York's Clubman of the Year after 42 appearances, scoring four goals. Unfortunately for Dyson, game time would become more limited in a hectic season for City, with three different managers in the same campaign seeing the midfielder make 23 appearances. He would have a brief spell on loan at Scarborough Athletic too, which was somewhat disrupted by injury. Dyson spent the entirety of the 2024/25 season on loan with Spennymoor Town in the National League North, appearing 45 times and even playing at Wembley Stadium for the Isuzu FA Trophy final. The now former York midfielder also earned an international call-up when representing England C during the 2022/23 season, as well as making over 100 appearances for the Minstermen. Dyson wrote on social media platform X: "My time at York City FC has come to an end. "I came as a 19 year old boy and I now leave six years later with the most amazing memories and achievements I could ever of wished for. "Thank you to all the players, managers, staff and most importantly the fans of the past and present for making the club my home. "I know last year was a disappointing one on a personal note but that doesn't take away everything we achieved together over the years. "I wish the club all the success in the future.
