HTFC ADMIN24 Jun - 13:57

Ex Sheringham Captain teams up with Matt Halliday again

Harleston Town are delighted to confirm the signing of commanding centre-back Shane Cox from Sheringham FC.

Shane joins the club with an impressive record, having made over 350 appearances for Sheringham across a decade of dedicated service. A no-nonsense, dependable presence at the back, Shane has been a pivotal figure in Sheringham’s rise through the leagues, playing a key role in three promotions during his time with the club.

He also captained Sheringham to the Thurlow Nunn North Division title in 2022 under then-manager and now Harleston boss Matt Halliday, marking one of the club’s standout achievements in recent years.

Manager Matt Halliday spoke of his enthusiasm at being reunited with his former captain:
“I’m absolutely delighted to bring Shane to Harleston. He was my captain at Sheringham and someone I’ve trusted implicitly on the pitch. His experience, leadership and commitment are second to none. He’ll set the standard for those around him and I’m really pleased to be working with him again.”

Shane also offered a heartfelt message to his former club and shared his excitement about the road ahead:

“I want to thank everyone at Sheringham for an incredible 10 years — from the staff and players to the supporters who’ve backed us all the way. I’ve loved every minute and feel proud to have played a part in the club’s journey and successes. That said, I’m really excited for this next chapter with Harleston. The ambition here is clear, and I’m looking forward to giving everything I can to help the team achieve more.”

Everyone at Harleston Town extends a warm welcome to Shane and looks forward to seeing him in action in the new season.
