Speaking on his signing, Brad commented: "I am looking forward to it. It’s great to be back working under Damon and Neal. Damo was the guy who brought me in last year and he knows what I’m about and what I bring on and off the pitch." He continued, "Bish was unreal last year. I can’t wait to play again for the club in front of the fans again! I loved my time last year, when I was playing. I have such a great relationship with the lads, staff, chairman and fans and I can’t wait to get back to scoring goals for the club."

A proven scorer on the Northern Premier League circuit, Grayson left to ply his trade closer to home, appearing for Rossington Main in a number of games at the back end of the season, netting six goals in eight games as Main were narrowly edged out in a Play-Off Final at North Ferriby. Providing knowledge and know how, Grayson provides vital experience at the front end of the pitch, as well as providing a valuable link between players and supporters. His energy and enthusiasm is something that is sure to rub off on those around him as Damo explains,

"Brad was well liked around the club and scored some important goals in the middle part of the season. It was an easy conversation to get him to come back for another season, he enjoyed his time here, loved the supporters and was desperate to come back and do well."

It's great to have you back in the ranks, Brad. And we look forward to seeing the magic you can muster! And also what Callum has in the locker for when you hit the back of the net!

Lincoln

In just over a fortnight's time (sixteen days to be precise) we open our pre-season campaign with a home game against a strong Lincoln City side. The Imps are bringing their first team squad ahead of departing on their own pre-season tour, and as such will provide a stern opening fixture for Neal Bishop and Damon Parkinson's new look squad. Tickets for this fixture can be bought in advance through our ticketing portal.
