Grimsby Town appoint new director

Grimsby Town

Grimsby have welcomed local businessman Mike Parker to the board of directors just a week after announcing losses of around £600,000.

Mr Parker is the former deputy chief executive of Youngs Bluecrest, one of the town's biggest employers.

In a brief statement the club said Mr Parker "brings with him a wealth of commercial experience."

Grimsby are in need of investment after sinking into the League Two relegation zone and a first round FA Cup exit.

The club are also seeking a new manager in succession to Mike Newell who was sacked three weeks ago.

Former manager Russell Slade is among the leading contenders after the club confirmed the ex-Yeovil Town and Brighton and Hove Albion manager had applied for the vacancy.
