Bacon Joins Worksop

22nd September 2006

Danny Bacon has decided to join Conference North club Worksop Town on a month's loan.

Bacon is one of Lincoln City's most unlucky strikers of recent years having struggled for over a year to gain a regular place in The Imps' first team.

At the start of last season, he was a regular on the substitutes' bench but was unable to claim a starting role. In September 2005, he joined Conference club Burton Albion. Alas, he suffered a broken leg while playing for Burton that caused him to miss the rest of the 2005/06 season.

Ironically, Bacon regained his fitness to become a first choice striker for Lincoln City's opening 2006/07 league fixture against Notts County. Within minutes of the match starting, he suffered a nasty head injury and then later an ankle injury - both injuries saw him unavailable for selection for several weeks.

Bacon, who has also played for Mansfield Town and Hucknall Town, will be hoping that this move to Worksop can kick-start his Lincoln City career. Bacon will play alongside current Imps' goalkeeper Ayden Duffy - who is also on loan at Worksop Town - plus former Imp Steve Robinson.
