Darlington Football Club would like to announce that Gary Brown has signed a new two year deal with the club.

Gary returned to the club in October following a brief spell with Shildon, and played a key role as Quakers charged to promotion to the National League North.

It was Gary’s third promotion with the club, having been part of the squad that won promotion from the Northern League and the NPL First Division North.

“We’re delighted that Gary has decided to stay at the club,” said manager Martin Gray. “He formed a very good central defensive partnership with Kevin Burgess, and they formed an excellent understanding. Nothing much got past them.”
