MARINERS fans have been heralding this week's exciting arrival of flying winger Jack Mackreth – at grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/sport
The former Macclesfield winger penned a one-year deal at Grimsby Town earlier this week.
Having turned down the club's advances in the past, the 22-year-old was delighted to finally become a Mariner.
And his new fans were equally as excited – judging by their comments on the Telegraph's website.
Streaky130 wrote: "Have just watched the YouTube video – this lad is lightning. We just need a striker that can keep up with him! My season ticket was never in doubt, but this signing has inspired me to get down the ticket office this Saturday."
Oxonmariner agreed: "Going by the YouTube clips, he looks fast.
"I was one who thought we should have got Wes York, but I reckon Mackreth looks better. Good signing – things are looking up.
Hertsmariner was also impressed by the 'best bits' video, which can be found on the Telegraph website.
He commented: "Mackreth seems a real livewire with the ability to outpace full-backs and supply 'killer' passes to onrushing strikers. Incidentally, this signing provided the catalyst for me to renew my season ticket today!"
Robthec added: "Unbelievable pace, well impressed. One thing is for sure, however we think the squad might line up, Paul Hurst is sure to surprise us."
