Harrogate Town boss Simon Weaver claims a new approach for Jack Diamond is now out of the question. The Black Cats have rejected a bid from the League Two side, whilst also turning down a further loan deal at Town.
The 44-year-old is a huge fan of Diamond having given him his first taste of senior football back in 2019-20. The Sunderland youngster has enjoyed two loan spells at Wetherby Road, winning the National League play-offs in his first year, before finishing last season as their joint-top-scorer with 14 goals.
Weaver claims his side tried to sign the 22-year-old permanently, but Sunderland are hopeful of giving Diamond some experience in League Two next season. “I would say Jack Diamond coming back is unlikely now, but we really did try,” Weaver told the Harrogate Advertiser.
