OLLIE Palmer says there is no reason why Grimsby Town can't win the Conference title this season.
The frontman now knows that he will be with the Mariners until the end of the campaign, after extending his loan deal from Mansfield Town.
And his belief is unwavering that Town can catch leaders Barnet and challengers Bristol Rovers and be the ones lifting the title come April.
Ahead of this afternoon's visit of Telford (3pm), he said: "I'm very pleased to get it all sorted. It's a great football club to be at and we're looking up at the minute, so I wanted to be a part of that.
"I said all along that if it was working out, I'd never see a reason why I'd want to walk away from that.
"Everything that has happened to me since arriving here has been amazing and it's a feeling that I've missed to be honest.
"The fans have been incredible to me and it means an awful lot to have that support behind me. I'm smiling in training and smiling in the games – I've got a buzz back for the game and I'm really grateful for the opportunity that the gaffer has given me here."
He added: "There's no recall clause and that's important to me.
"I wanted to give 110 per cent to Grimsby and I didn't want it taken away from me overnight and be called back.
"I'm here until the end of the season now and I want promotion – it's going to be an exciting few months!
"I fully believe we can get promoted and that top spot is in reach. We've got to play Barnet and Bristol with a game in hand, so it's there to be done. We can put the pressure on the teams above us so I'll be doing everything for us to do that.
"It's one game at a time though, and we've got Telford this afternoon and we've got to focus on that."
