Guiseley are pleased the dispute over James Hanson’s fee has finally been resolved, though admit they had hoped for more compensation.

An FA tribunal decided that neighbours City had to pay the non-league club a four-figure sum – thought to be around £7,500.

Guiseley will also receive the proceeds of a high-profile pre-season friendly between the clubs, plus a 25 per-cent sell-on clause if Hanson joins another club.

A statement on Guiseley’s website read: “Whilst that is not all that Guiseley had hoped for in compensation for developing James into the player that he is proving to be at Bradford City, it is, non the less, an improvement on Bradford City’s final offer and all in all a fair comp-romise to amicably resolve the situation.”

Meanwhile, the Lions may have exited the FA Trophy in midweek but their fixture nightmare goes on.

Guiseley should have played one of their many UniBond Premier Division games in hand on Tuesday but yet another call-off last weekend put paid to that.

Their FA Trophy tie at home to Tamworth was put back to last Tuesday due to a frozen pitch and meant they could not play Bradford Park Avenue in the West Riding County Cup.

That tie – rearranged for Monday – takes precedence over league games so it means Tuesday’s scheduled home match against Whitby Town has been put back a week.
