Yeo In Demand

19th December 2005

It seems that several League Two managers are busy writing to Father Christmas with a wishlist of presents that includes former Lincoln City striker Simon Yeo.

As revealed on Saturday, Imps' boss Keith Alexander has already offered Yeo an 18-month contract. Unfortunately, Yeo has not yet accepted this offer and is seeking further talks with Alexander later this week.

Meanwhile, League Two rivals Oxford United have also held talks with Yeo's advisors, with Oxford rumoured to have offered Yeo a two-and-a-half year contract. Now, Grimsby Town are the latest club to enter the race for Yeo's services.

Grimsby manager Russell Slade confirmed: "I've got a list of names that I'll be targeting over the New Year and yes, it would be fair to say that Simon Yeo is on that list of names."

Slade tried to sign Yeo, and several other Lincoln players, at the end of last season but was rejected. Six months later and Grimsby are a more attractive prospect as they are currently second in the League Two table.
