Now We Have a Team!

TOTO Nsiala has become Grimsby's final signing from the class of 2014/15, fittingly becoming Town's 11th senior squad member drawn from last year's team - enough for a football side.

Grimsby offered deals to Craig Disley, Jon-Paul Pittman, Nathan Arnold, Shaun Pearson, Jack Mackreth, Josh Gowling, Scott Brown, Craig Clay, Gregor Robertson, Lenell John-Lewis and Carl Magnay, with 'keeper James McKeown was already under contract for next season. Ten of the twelve players have re-signed while John-Lewis and Magnay have elected to join clubs in League Two next season.

23-year-old Nsiala is naturally a centre back but has also played as a full back for the Mariners. He's a welcome addition to the squad next season, which Paul Hurst is looking to augment by five new faces.

Next's season's transfer budget has already received around £60,000 in donations from fans in the #OperationPromotion drive. £20,000 has come from the Mullens, £5000 from the Trust and an incredible £35,000 in donations from hundreds of fans. Supporters can now donate in person at Blundell Park or online at www.crowdfunder.co.uk. Every penny will go to Paul Hurst to go towards a team to better last year's Wembley heartache.
