Harrogate Railway boss Martin Haresign is hoping to include three new signings for tomorrow's home game against Mickleover Sports.

Midfielders Scott Ryan and Des McOrisson are expected to sign from Garforth Town in time to face Mickleover and former Leeds United reserve Simon Watson is also due to join from Liversedge.

Watson, who also plays in midfield, made the first-team squad at Elland Road before a cruciate knee ligament hampered his progress and he was released in May 2001 after three years at the club.

He then had a spell at Doncaster before Haresign signed him for previous club Farsley Celtic.

Centre-back Chris Brown could be missing against Mickleover after limping out of the Farsley cup tie with a hamstring problem and Jason Day is unavailable.

Railway can leapfrog their 15th-placed opponents in the table with a victory tomorrow although the Station View men have only won two out of their nine home games this season.
