Goalkeeper Andy Rafferty was the first signing of the 2010 summer when he made the short journey from Guisborough Town. He was unlucky with injuries during his time with the club, most seriously a knee problem that ruled him out of the 2012/13 campaign. Though only making three appearances in his first three seasons at Victoria Park, he did enough to given a contract extension in the summer of 2012 and a new contract a year later. Early in the 2014/15 season the club announced that Rafferty's contract had been cancelled by mutual consent, though there was some confusion over the reasons behind the decision. The club stated that the player wished to pursue activities outside football, but Rafferty denied this and expressed his desire to find another club.
