2020–21 Harrogate Town A.F.C. season explained

The 2020–21 season was the first season Harrogate Town played in the Football League following their promotion from the National League in the previous season. They competed in League Two, the fourth tier of English football, alongside the FA Cup, EFL Cup, and EFL Trophy. The club began the season at the Keepmoat Stadium in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, whilst a grass pitch was installed at their traditional Wetherby Road stadium in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

Background

The 2019–20 season saw Harrogate Town finish second in the National League, and thus qualified for the play-offs.^[1] They defeated Boreham Wood 1–0 in the semi-final,^[2] before a 3–1 victory over Notts County in the final secured Harrogate's promotion to the Football League for the first time in their history.^[3]

Since the EFL require all matches to be played on grass pitches, the club played all their home matches for the first month of the season at Doncaster Rovers' Keepmoat Stadium whilst the club replaced their synthetic pitch at Wetherby Road.^[4]

At the end of June 2020, defenders Maxim Kouogun, George Smith and Matty Taylor were all released following the expiry of their contracts, whilst the contract of midfielder Sam Jones was terminated with immediate effect.^[5]
