Wilcox explaining the rationale behind the signing, as he had this to say once Tuntulwana had put pen to paper, "Sisa is a young hungry RB/RWB who is driven to play as high as he possibly can. He sees this opportunity to keep learning and developing amongst our group and is quick and direct." Across his two spells for Grantham he scored eight goals, including four in fifteen, at Step 4 last season, having rejoined our Lincolnshire rivals in the November of 2023.

Having started his career at Grantham, signing an 18 month deal, at the age of eighteen, the talented teenager quickly racked up appearances for the Gingerbreads, making nearly twenty appearances in his breakthrough campaign. A change of management saw game time limited for Sisa, resulting in switches to Wisbech and Boston Town before his return to Grantham.

Now, arriving at DN21, Tuntulwana is hopeful that he can help the side improve on the 2023/24 season. "My hope for next season is to help the team finish higher than we did this season and possibly get into the play-offs as I see you narrowly missed out on them this last season."

The right sided defender continued, "It truly is a privilege to be part of this team, having played against Gainsborough once before, the atmosphere from the fans was electric. It was a no-brainer for me when the gaffer got in contact to play at a very good club, in a very good league."

Sisa's signing marks the first new recruit of the summer, as Russ Wilcox adds youthful energy to the nucleus of his stable squad. Welcome to Gainsborough Trinity Sisa. Keep your eyes peeled for more news in the coming days, across our website and social media channels.
