Olly Dyson also announces City departure after five seasons
OLLY Dyson has become the second player of the day to announce his departure from York City.
Dyson, similarly to defender Adam Crookes, has confirmed on social media that he will be leaving the football club upon the expiry of his current contract.
The 25-year-old midfielder initially joined York in September 2020 from Huddersfield Town, and was a part of the City team that gained promotion from the National League North in the 2021/22 season.
Dyson would remain with the Minstermen in their debut season back in the National League, and would go on to be named as York's Clubman of the Year after 42 appearances, scoring four goals.
Unfortunately for Dyson, game time would become more limited in a hectic season for City, with three different managers in the same campaign seeing the midfielder make 23 appearances.
He would have a brief spell on loan at Scarborough Athletic too, which was somewhat disrupted by injury.
Dyson spent the entirety of the 2024/25 season on loan with Spennymoor Town in the National League North, appearing 45 times and even playing at Wembley Stadium for the Isuzu FA Trophy final.
The now former York midfielder also earned an international call-up when representing England C during the 2022/23 season, as well as making over 100 appearances for the Minstermen.
Dyson wrote on social media platform X: "My time at York City FC has come to an end.
"I came as a 19 year old boy and I now leave six years later with the most amazing memories and achievements I could ever of wished for.
"Thank you to all the players, managers, staff and most importantly the fans of the past and present for making the club my home.
"I know last year was a disappointing one on a personal note but that doesn't take away everything we achieved together over the years.
"I wish the club all the success in the future. Thank you."
