Boulding No Go?

8th May 2008

Lincoln City FC's hopes of signing Mansfield Town striker Michael Boulding may be dashed after the striker expressed a desire to play football at a level higher than League Two.

Speaking to the Grimsby Telegraph, Boulding revealed: "I think I could play a lot higher than I have been doing this season. I have played at Championship level before and I think I am a better player now than I was then."

Boulding is believed to be on Imps' manager Peter Jackson's wishlist for next season. However, he faces competition from at least Grimsby Town and Bradford City.

During the 2007/08 season, Boulding scored 25 goals in 47 league and cup appearances in what was one of the few bright spots in Mansfield's season. He began his career at Mansfield before progressing to Aston Villa and Sheffield United among others.
