Midfielder Olly Green, once on the books of Hull City, has returned to Boston United following the conclusion of his loan spell with Spennymoor Town.
The 22-year-old joined the Moors in July on a season-long deal and made his debut from the bench during a 2-0 win over Leamington early in the 2025-26 campaign.
However, what promised to be a valuable run of senior minutes was quickly disrupted by an eye injury, which curtailed his availability during the opening months of the season. As a result, Green went on to feature six times in all competitions before returning to The Jakemans Community Stadium.
Speaking after the midfielder’s departure, Spennymoor boss Graeme Lee paid tribute to both the player and his parent club, praising Green’s attitude despite a frustrating spell on the sidelines and wishing him well for the next stage of his career.
“I would like to thank Olly for his efforts, and Boston United for allowing him to come here,” said Moors boss Graeme Lee.
“He was really unlucky with that injury, which set him back, and has not played as many games as we’d have all hoped, but his attitude to training has always been great and we’re wishing him well for his future career.”
For Boston, Green’s return brings back a player whose development has already taken in a wide range of environments. A product of the Hull City academy, he signed his first professional contract in 2022 but did not make a senior appearance for the Tigers, instead gaining experience through loan spells with Bridlington Town, Marske United and York City.
That grounding in non-league football laid the platform for a move north of the border in the summer of 2024, when he joined Livingston, making a single first-team appearance in the Scottish Professional Football League.
Green arrived at Boston United in February 2025, adding another chapter to a career that has been built around adaptability and resilience. While his loan at Spennymoor did not deliver the volume of minutes hoped for, the experience remains a useful one, exposing him to the physical and tactical demands of National League North football and reinforcing the importance of availability as well as ability.
Now back with the Pilgrims, Green will look to reset and refocus as the second half of the season unfolds. With his background across academy football, the English non-league system and the SPFL, he remains a young midfielder with a varied education in the game.
How Boston chooses to deploy him next, whether as part of their plans or through another carefully chosen loan, will be one to watch as his development continues.
