Experienced Forward Signs New Contract Ahead of Upcoming Campaign

Guiseley AFC has confirmed that Jordan Thewlis will remain with the club for the 2026/27 season, having signed a new contract following a successful 2025/26 campaign.

Season Performance and Career Overview

Thewlis, 33, was a key figure for Guiseley last season, scoring 17 goals in 41 appearances. This made him the joint fourth highest scorer in the league and accounted for approximately 30% of the club’s league goals. His contribution was recognised at the club’s End of Season Dinner, where he received the Players’ Player, Manager’s Player, and Sponsors’ Player of the Season awards.

Across two spells with Guiseley, Thewlis has made 82 appearances and scored 30 goals. He originally joined the club in 2021 after leaving Boston United. In early 2022, he transferred to Spennymoor Town for an undisclosed fee before moving to Alfreton Town later that year. At Alfreton, he finished the 2023/24 season as the club’s top scorer, helping them secure a play-off position.

Experience and Future Prospects

Entering his 16th season as a senior professional, Thewlis brings considerable experience to Guiseley’s frontline. The club’s manager, Ian Richards, will be looking to build on last season’s performances with Thewlis as a key part of the squad.

Background

• Previous clubs include Scunthorpe United, Corby Town, Gainsborough Trinity, Harrogate Town, Boston United, Spennymoor Town, and Alfreton Town.
• Thewlis’s career has spanned multiple levels of English football, contributing goals and experience at each stop.
