Josh Hmami Completes Transfer from FC Halifax Town to Harrogate Town AFC

FC Halifax Town has officially announced the transfer of midfielder Josh Hmami to Harrogate Town AFC for an undisclosed fee. This decision comes after a period of speculation regarding Hmami's future at The Shay, where he has been a part of the team for six months into a two-year contract.

Josh Hmami's Transfer Journey

The news of Hmami’s transfer follows his expressed desire to leave the club during the current close season. Earlier in January 2026, he had shown interest in moving to another club, attracting attention from various League Two teams. However, at that time, FC Halifax Town was unable to agree on suitable terms due to his ongoing contract. The situation changed in the current transfer window when Hmami submitted a written transfer request, which the club accepted with reluctance. The swift action from Harrogate Town, who expressed their interest in him, paved the way for the transfer to go through. This development has been welcomed by both clubs, as it allows Hmami to pursue new opportunities while FC Halifax Town can plan for the future without him.

What This Means for FC Halifax Town

For FC Halifax Town, losing a player like Hmami can impact the team's dynamics. He contributed positively during his time at the club, and the management has acknowledged his efforts. A statement from the club expressed gratitude for Hmami's contributions, saying, "We thank Josh for his contribution to the club during his time with The Shaymen."
