Ex-Imp Joins Boston United

7th June 2009

We have a blast from the past as a former Lincoln City defender is on the move.

This week, ex-Imp Mark Camm became the first signing of Boston United's new management duo Rob Scott and Paul Hurst.

Speaking, Scott enthused: We are delighted to make our first signing and although it has taken a little time, we believe it's a good start to our squad-building programme. Mark will be a good acquisition..."

For those who cannot remember Camm, he was a promising youngster who began his career as a trainee at Sheffield United but despite captaining their reserve side, he was unable to break into their first team.

He joined Lincoln originally on trial in April 2000 in the knowledge that he would be leaving Sheffield United in the July. He impressed but as City's finances were in a poor state, the best that they could offer him was a three month contract commencing August 2000.

In December 2000, whilst on month-to-month contracts, Camm made his Lincoln City FC debut against Rochdale due to an injury crisis. The prolonged injury crisis saw Lincoln renew his contract until May 2001 although his first team appearances were limited.

He signed a new contract keeping him at Lincoln until May 2001, which was later renewed by a further year to May 2002. Another injury crisis occurred in November 2001 and he was played in his alternative position of right-back. He took his chance well and seemed to have become a first team regular. However, Camm was dropped as soon as Mark Bailey regained fitness.

Although Camm spent a large part of the 2002/03 season on loan at Gainsborough Trinity, his contract was surprisingly renewed by yet a further year in May 2002. However, he continued to remain on the fringe of a first team run. Camm was loaned to Kings' Lynn during the 2003/04 season before accepting a severance deal from Lincoln City.

After leaving Lincoln City he joined Kings' Lynn permanently where he stayed for six seasons making 269 appearances for King's Lynn.
