Very pleased with that - has the potential to be quite a special player for us I think.

I think the 3-year deal is mostly because MJ thinks he's worth it - but it also serves to send out a very clear message that a successful youth system is the key to this club progressing.  Well done.

Not to mention that it ties him to the club for the foreseeable future. If he continues to progress as well as he has done since he got into the team, bigger clubs will undoubtedly come knocking in due course.

It is worth the money just to make it obvious to the youth players that there is the possibility of making it into the first team. One good example often breeds another and with Clifton and Wright there it shows the manager is open to using young players. It is a reminder of the days when Ford, Drinkell and the Moores led on to Wilkinson, Lund, Henshaw and Agnew. They cost us very little but what were they worth to us?

Clifton reminds me a little of Gary Henshaw as a player. I trust he will be better coached than Gary was when Lyons came.

More excellent news. Max and Harry's deals show a real commitment to the ethos Dave Roberts talked about in his statement a few months ago. Also a massive statement to kids in the academy or players that might potentially join the academy or youth team.

Also interesting reading:

"I think in the long term, Harry will play in central midfield for Grimsby. I certainly wouldn't rule that out in the short term either, but his versatility and ability to play in several positions is a big strength for him and for us."

Spot on Ron this must be the way forward it looks to me like Town are actually planning for a proper future at long last.

Good for him (and us). He certainly played his part in keeping us up, especially with that run down the right which led to us winning the penalty to equalise v Barnet. Deserves that extra bit of security.


Up The Mariners!
