Magennis off to the seaside on loan

I'm off to Cleethorpes!!!


Cardiff City goalkeeper turned starlet striker JOSH MAGENNIS is heading to Grimsby Town, 22nd in League Two, initially on a 1 month loan.


The Northern Ireland Under 21 man, who has just turned 19, had had 7 substitute outings this season and scored in a Carling Cup victory over Bristol Rovers but with other forwards Ross McCormack and Warren Feeney fit again, he would be squeezed out of the current matchday squad.

He has pace, presence and potential but also a rawness and would clearly benefit from regular first team football so it's a great opportunity for him and UI'm sure he'll get a few tips from his new boss, old striking warhorse Mike Newell. He's expected to feature in The Mariners home clash with Rochdale this weekend.
