Grimsby Town signs midfielder Mark Shelton on loan for the season

Grimsby Town added midfielder Mark Shelton to its squad on a loan deal for the remainder of the season. The 29-year-old previously joined York City in May following the expiration of his contract at Barnet, but he did not make an appearance under head coach Scott Lindsey. Grimsby head coach David Artell cited Shelton’s experience at the League Two and National League levels as a primary factor in the decision. Shelton brings a track record that includes 20 goals over two seasons at Barnet and participation in four career promotions. The move provides the midfielder with an opportunity to secure regular playing time after being sidelined at his current club. He arrives at Grimsby Town with an understanding of the demands required to compete at the top of the division.
