Keeper joins the squad

Liam Mason, whose first touch as a Darlington first team player was a penalty save against Scarborough last season, has signed for the 2026-27 campaign.

Liam, who turned 20 last week, was a regular member of the matchday squad last season as well as playing for our Under 23s, and his big moment came when Rory Watson went off injured against Scarborough after conceding a penalty, but then Liam came on and saved the spot kick.

Everyone is delighted that Liam has signed for the new season.
