Graeme Lee has pulled off a significant piece of summer transfer business with the news that Olly Dyson has agreed a permanent deal at The Brewery Field.

Dyson was a double Player of the Year winner last term whilst on loan from York City, producing some magnificent performances at right-back and in midfield.

The dependable 25-year-old’s form made him a big hit with fans, and he scooped both the Fans’ and Management Staff’s Player of the Year trophies in 2024/25.

His contract with The Minstermen is due to expire at the end of June and Moors boss Lee had made it a summer priority to bring Dyson to County Durham on a permanent basis.

That deal has now been clinched with the former Huddersfield Town youngster to become a Moors player when his deal with York expires at the end of the month.

“I’m absolutely delighted that Olly is joining us permanently,” admitted Lee.

“Everyone knows how important he was for us in our successes last season, and we were determined to do everything we could to keep him at the Football Club.

“Not only was he an asset to us on the pitch, but Olly is also a great lad to have around the place and his attitude to his training and playing is first class.

“He deserved the accolades he got last year because of his consistent performances in whatever position he played, and we’re excited to see him continue that into 2025/26.

“Things are coming together for us now in terms of the squad and this was a key piece of business for us – and one we want to build on now.”

Dyson will wear squad number 7 and will now be free to join his Moors teammates when they return to pre-season training later this week.
