Two of the faces have appeared as triallists in recent weeks.

The first is Coventry-born winger Ryan Baldwin - the pacey player having been in and around the squad since the opening friendly at Boston Town.

He scored the opening goal of last Saturday's friendly win against Nuneaton Borough.

Baldwin has previously been with Barwell and Bedworth United and also had successful loan spells at Hinckley AFC, scoring 3 goals in 6 appearances, and last season at Coleshill Town.

Also becoming a Gingerbread is central defender AJ Adelekan, who has featured in Grantham`s last two friendlies, playing at left back and in central defence.

The 23-year-old was with BetVictor Southern League Premier Division Central side Rushall Olympic last season and numbers Essex Senior League outfit Redbridge and Dagenham & Redbridge amongst his former clubs.

Also joining the Gingerbreads is goalkeeper Tom Nicholson, who was with National League North side Alfreton Town last season.

The 31-year-old joined Alfreton from FC Halifax Town in May 2018.

He previously played for North Ferriby United but largely played a back-up role with the Villagers, where he was a part of the side who won the FA Trophy in 2015.

His other former clubs include Hull City, Scarborough and Garforth Town.
