The Mansfield Town academy graduate played at Step 4 last season with Sheffield FC and has played at a higher level for all of his career.

 

Counting the likes of Scarborough Athletic, Belper Town and Stamford AFC among his former clubs, the forward becomes the twelfth player to agree to be part of Jepson’s squad for next season.

 

After his release from Mansfield, Ryan linked up with Chasetown, having initially spent time with the Scholars on loan.

 

After that, he linked up with Hucknall Town and Rainworth Miners Welfare.

 

Jepson said the addition is a great one for the club. He told the club`s official website: “Grant has played at a top level all of his career and has always scored goals.

 

“We have had to fight of the interests of a number of Evo-Stik clubs for his signature, but in the end, the working relationship he has with John and me from previous clubs won him over.”

 

Meanwhile, winger Nick Goold has agreed to stay with Hinckley AFC for the 2018/19 season.

 

The left-sided player, who is equally comfortable at full-back or more advanced, joined under Richard Lavery in February and played 13 times for the club last season.

 

He ended a long affiliation with county rivals Quorn to link up with Hinckley, and Jepson is pleased to have fought off competition from higher levels to keep him.

 

Jepson said: “We’re really happy Gooldy is staying. He’s had interest from higher leagues, but he’s bought into what we are trying to achieve here.

 

“Being a left-footer, he gives us a natural balance and he’s calm on the ball with good deliveries into the box.

 

“We’re delighted he’s agreed to stay”.
