The exciting young prospect joined the Peacocks from league rivals Yate Town in January 2020 and has been in excellent form during the pre-season friendlies

 

Spokes signed for Yate in August 2019.

 

The 20-year-old had a trial with Premier League Burnley towards the end of the 2018/19 season and joined from Southern Division One South outfit Mangotsfield United, for whom he made 30 appearances in 2018/19, scoring 5 goals.

 

Previously with Hallen, he was spotted playing for the Filton Academy.

 

Head of football Rob Dray told https://tauntontown.com: “We’re thrilled for Spokesy to get a professional contract at Grimsby. His dedication and what he did away from the club during lockdown shows how things can work out for young players.

 

“When we initially came back to training and were doing measuring in the first sessions his stats were at elite player level. He is a great lad and will be sorely missed around the squad, but again it shows how as a club for young players we are a great medium for pushing them on to better standards. We wish him well”.
