RUSSELL Slade is still hoping to sign two or three more players before the start of the new season, but is prepared to wait for the right individuals to come along rather than rush into new signings. "There is plenty of time, we don't need to rush," said the Town boss.

Meanwhile the squad are said to progressing well at their army "boot camp" in Cambridgeshire. "They are really getting into it and have been working together in everything. They are having to live in each other's pockets 24-7 and that is a new experience for them," said Slade.

A 20 man squad have made the journey to the boot camp, including former Lincoln City midfielder Ciaran Toner, who is on trial with Town. On Wednesday Grimsby will feature some more trial players in a reserve friendly at Bridlington
