Default Athletic Club in 1900's in Middlesbrough

Please can you help?? Does anyone know what Athletic Clubs existed in Middlesbrough area in 1910 -1920's We are searching for any information on Harry Wilson running for a club around this time, or if you can tell me were I might find archive records for such a club. Harry's family lived in Cargo Fleet, he married in 1911 and some time afterwards moved to North Ormesby.

Do you know anything more about him? Google tells me there were a number of runners with the name of Harry Wilson - was he a professional runner, for instance?

Also, if you google, there are/were a number of athletic clubs and harrier clubs in Middlesborough.

Harry Wilson born abt 1893. Parents were David and Mary Wilson. Harry married Maggie Stephenson in 1911. We don't believe that Harry was a professional runner at least not to our knowledge.

Many thanks for your suggestions Margaret and Old Crone.
