Connor Douglas Joins The Shaymen – FC Halifax Town

FC Halifax Town are delighted to confirm the signing of winger Connor Douglas, following his release by Premier League side Leeds United. Having come through the age groups at Leeds, the winger signed his first professional deal with the club in the summer of 2024. Comfortable on either wing, Douglas was utilised by both the under 18s and under 21s squads before signing his professional contract. The wide midfielder netted the winner for the under 21s in a Premier League 2 fixture against Manchester United under 21s in 2023. Last season, Douglas spent the first half of the season with the Leeds under 21s squad, however signed on loan for John McGrath’s Buxton side on Boxing Day. The winger went on to make 26 league appearances for the club, scoring once and assisting a further four, as the Bucks secured a playoff finish. Whilst at Leeds in the first part of the season, Douglas featured in the National League Cup fixture against The Shaymen, playing the full 90 as he had done the previous season as well.
