Previous clubs: None.

Signed: May 2005.

Lee Frecklington is a promising midfield player who has graduated through the youth team ranks at Lincoln City.

He signed his first ever professional contract in May 2005, but had already made his debut for Lincoln City. His debut was against Telford United in the LDV Vans' Trophy in October 2003. During the 2004/05 season, he played in three league matches as a substitute and seems destined to feature in many more during the 2005/06 season.

He spent the early part of the 2005/06 season on loan at local non-league club Stamford, where he played alongside ex-Imp Adam Buckley.

Upon his return to Lincoln City, he became a fringe player on the verge of a first team run. He has since started several matches but mainly had to settle for a substitute's role.

Frecklington is very popular among Lincoln City FC's supporters who rate him very highly; a player for the future. John Schofield's elevation to manager of Lincoln City FC should aid Frecklington's first team cause because Schofield is his former youth team boss. This prediction proved correct and Frecklington elevated himself to one of the best players at club during the 2006/07 season.

His footballing eduaction continued during the 2007/08 season and Frecklington is now one of the most coverted players in League Two. In January 2008, Lincoln City rejected a £250,000 bid from rivals Peterborough United for Frecklington.

Previous clubs: Bradford City, Hull City and Scarborough.

Signed: July 2005.

Scott Kerr is a midfielder and a former member of the semi-professional England team; hence he is highly-rated and has proved an excellent replacement for Richard Butcher.

Kerr began his career at Bradford City as a trainee but left in June 2001 after making just 3 appearances. He joined Hull City for a nominal fee but failed to make an impact as he played just once for Hull.

It was in March 2003 that he turned his career around, when he signed for Scarborough on a free transfer. Overall, he made 92 appearances for Scarborough, scoring 2 goals. Kerr rejected Barnet to join Lincoln but as he was only 23-years-old, he was therefore ineligible to leave under the Bosman Ruling unless a transfer fee is paid.

In June 2004, Scarborough chairman Malcolm Reynolds said: "Whoever Scott signs for will have to pay us a compensation fee to be decided by an FA tribunal unless the clubs can agree a fee."

However, in a twist, an admin error resulted in Scarborough losing ant entitlement to a transfer fee and Kerr joined Lincoln on a free transfer. He is an expert at set-piece delivery.

Kerr was a unsung hero of Lincoln City FC's 2005/06 season's play-off qualifying team. He is a hardworking midfielder who can pass the ball well. New Imps' manager John Schofield has promised that his players will play a more passing style, which should suit and improve Kerr. He indeed did enjoy a good 2006/07 season and was rewarded when he was named as the new captain.

The 2007/08 season saw Kerr enjoy a steady season, while retaining the captaincy. His reward was a new one-year contract that ties to The Imps until June 2009.
