The coveted 21-year-old impressed during his loan spell with the club from SkyBet League One side Sheffield Wednesday last season and that period left a lasting impression on the box-to-box midfielder, with the lure of the Northolme proving too much to turn down.

He had offers of full-time football, both in England and North of the border, but decided that Trinity would be a good move at this stage in his career,

In ten starts during his loan with the Holy Blues, Waldock tasted defeat only once. Five wins and four draws coincided with the Blues' best period of the season, including victories away at Lancaster City and at home to Coalville in the FA Trophy. And draws against eventual Champion's Buxton at the Northolme & away at last season's surprise package - Stafford Rangers.

Upon his return to Hillsborough, the Sheffield-based dynamo made a full appearance in the 4-0 Papa John's Trophy victory over Harrogate Town, before being involved in Darren Moore's matchday squad half a dozen times before the end of the season.

Joint boss Neal Bishop told https://www.gainsboroughtrinity.com: "I am delighted to get Liam on board. As a first signing I think it makes a massive statement. The fact he has turned down clubs from much higher up the pyramid in England and Scotland is massive for us. He thrived in this environment, and he is someone we feel can develop further. He will be a big asset for us going forwards".
