Excellent news! We’ve obviously had to move quickly on this one.

Now, the question is - will there be another loan?

I assume they didn't want him to have a trial run for another side this weekend and risk losing the chance of him signing for us

Squad seems big now. I wonder what players he will want to move on. We are doubled up everywhere now at least.

Based on the 45minutes I’ve seen him play excellent signing

I was at Boston and the lad will be a great addition to the squad , I know people will say look how Barlow turned out but this kid has pace to burn and can get passed people , the rest can be coached by are excellent new coaching team

Given the terrible injury record of recent seasons, a large squad might not be a bad thing.?

With 5 subs, a bigger squad will help.  Must be about it though, for me we could still do with one more striker.

Grant saw enough in training and in the 45 minutes to get him signed up so that's good enough for me hopefully he takes this opportunity and becomes the new wilkes with his direct running and taking risks

In McCann we trust. Let's hope this lad matches the promise shown. We've seen so many fail to live up to it. I can remember only recently, high praise being given for the signing of Hiwula. In his first friendly, he was like sh*te off a shovel but then someone nicked the shovel.

The lads probably had to go home to sort a few things before rejoining us.

I also think we need one more, but my choice would be a central defensive midfielder, as cover for Bailey.

Unless Reo and Lavery leave we don't need a striker, we have Ironside, Miller, Lavery, Reo, Goodman and then Sotona and Molyneux who can play there as well.

Great news this, on paper there’s not much to talk about him, so we all can’t say. We’ve got to trust in what GM saw in him, I can only say that I’ve been told by a mutual friend that we won’t be disappointed with him.

Big squad helps you to play pressing football.

Run your blood to water for 60 mins then get subbed.

Looking at that clip, our next signing needs to be a free kick specialist.

Really looking forward to this lad. Clearly a gamble as GM states that not all feedback has been positive about him. Could be one of those lads whose form will swing from unplayable to a little wayward. Our new Malik. Good to see a manager talking about coaching to improve. Beats “moments”

Seems exactly the type of player we should be gambling on, we are after all plying our trade now in League 2 !

GM ain't daft, the fact he's signed him after just a weeks trial and 45mins and he's spoken to other people he must be impressed. Especially since its a 2 year deal and not a year.

We now have something we’ve lacked or seasons, genuine pace on the flanks, With Tyler and this lad.

I think a few L2 defenders will be seeing red and yellow cards after stopping him going past them.
We might get a few penalties too.

This lad is real quick . Could become a real asset under GM. And has the potential to be a money spinner in future.

Brilliant rebuild from GM and the team, bearing in mind we have only one loan player too

For the first time in years I’m genuinely excited about the upcoming season. Feels like there’s a real buzz back in the place and hopefully we have our identity back after a horrific 2 and a half seasons.

Special thanks to Terry Bramhall for providing the funds for Grants rebuild.

Roll on the start of the season.
