Strikers Join New Clubs

12th January 2007

Two of Lincoln City FC's strikers have today joined new clubs.

First, striker Gary Birch has wasted little time in finding a new club after his release from Lincoln City, which was confirmed yesterday. Today, Birch has joined non-league AFC Telford United. The transfer is somewhat of a coup for Telford as they have persuaded Birch to drop three divisions. They also beat off strong competition from several English and Scottish clubs to sign Birch.

Meanwhile, striker Martin Gritton has joined League Two club Mansfield Town on loan until the end of the season. Both Gritton and Birch faced stiff competition for a first team place, although Gritton was ahead of Birch in the pecking order.
