This will add to Thomas Davie, Jamie Green, Joe Maguire, Nathan Hotte and Nathan Stainfield who have already stated their intention to compete at the top end of the Evo Stik Northern Premier League this time out. King, who played with Sam at North Ferriby, commented, "I played with Sam for two years. He is capable of playing right back or wing back – very reliable week in week out. We know exactly what we’re going to get from him. He is a proven winner, won the FA Trophy and promotion from the National League North and he is only 24 years of age. It was a no brainer for me and Ross to get him in!"

Sam is obviously looking forward to getting started, declaring: "It’s a good local club that’s played at a high level for years and can hopefully get back up there into the National League North!" Welcome to Gainsborough, Sam!
