OBIKWU IS BACK

Grimsby Town Football Club is delighted to welcome back Justin Obikwu on loan from Coventry City until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old spent four months on loan at Blundell Park last season, making 10 starts and scoring three times against Sutton United, MK Dons and Barrow.

Obikwu impressed during Coventry’s pre-season, scoring against Port Vale and Stevenage.

On Obikwu returning to Blundell Park, Head Coach David Artell said, “We’ve done unbelievably well to get him back because his progression has been so rapid since he was here.

“He could have gone to four League One clubs, so the fact that he’s chosen us, ahead of them, is a real bonus.

“He scored goals for Coventry’s first team against some tough opposition during pre-season and we’re looking forward to working with him again soon.”

Obikwu will be unavailable for tomorrow’s SkyBet League Two fixture against Bradford City at Blundell Park.

Welcome back, Justin!
