Jack Diamond's brief return to Wearside could work to Harrogate's advantage in the long-term, according to Sulphurites' boss Simon Weaver.
Diamond was one of three loan players recalled by Sunderland earlier this month to allow the club to continue fulfilling its fixtures as a Covid outbreak left Lee Johnson's squad threadbare.
The 22-year-old was brought back by Sunderland on January 7 and was in the matchday squad for the last four games, including making a start against Lincoln and a substitute appearance at Wycombe.
