Gateshead FC is delighted to confirm the signing of Jacob Butterfield on a one-year deal, with an optional extension available at the club’s discretion.
The central midfielder arrives on Tyneside, subject to FA and National League approval, having departed Vanarama National League North side Scunthorpe United following the conclusion of the 2023/24 season.
Butterfield became a fan-favourite during his two seasons with the Iron, making 86 appearances across campaigns in the National League and National League North while scoring 12 goals.
The 34-year-old lays claim to being one of the most experienced operators in non-league, having made over 300 Championship appearances across spells with Barnsley, Middlesbrough, Huddersfield Town, Derby County, Sheffield Wednesday and Luton Town.
Welcome to Gateshead, Jacob!
