FORMER Huddersfield midfielder Lee Fowler is hoping his performances in two friendlies for Grimsby will earn him a contract with Town.

Fowler played in Monday's defeat to Sheff Wed, as well as the Lincolnshire Cup game with Scunthorpe, and was one of Town's best players according to many observers.

The 22-year-old midfielder told the Grimsby Telegraph: "Hopefully somebody upstairs likes me because I have got a lot to offer Grimsby. To be honest, I will be disappointed if nothing comes of this. There is a good set of lads here and I have been getting on really well. I think a move would be good for both of us - myself and Grimsby Town."

Fowler said: "I thought I did okay in the first half, but it is a year since I have played back-to-back games and I knew I'd fade a bit towards the end. It was good, but I know I will improve."
