Cleethorpes Town swoop for former Mariner Lawrence Heward
FORMER Grimsby Town Youth defender Lawrence Heward has joined Cleethorpes Town.
The Grimsby-born 20-year-old has joined the club officially, having left Northern Premier League Division One South outfit Brigg Town.

He started last Saturday's 3-2 victory over Rossington at the Bradley Community Stadium.
And yesterday, Andy Liddle's men – now third in the league table – triumphed at Yorkshire Amateur by the same score.

Heward, pictured, comes from a family of successful Mariners – his uncle, Terry Donovan, and granddad, Don Donovan, both donned the black and white stripes for the first team.
He joined Brigg after missing out on a professional deal at Blundell Park last summer.
Liddle, who is hoping to announce another signing this week, is delighted Heward opted for a move closer to home.
"Lawrence has been at Brigg but things didn't work out," he said.
"He came down as a one-off earlier this season and enjoyed it.
"He can play anywhere along the back four. His best position is left-back.
"He's a quality defender that adds competition for places.
"He's a local lad and likes what we are doing – it's a credit to the club that he's prepared to drop down to our level with the hope of eventually moving back up."

“Don't be so sure on that one I would get yourself out there more often. you are obviousley way out of touch in this area. I have not heard of anyone singing "stand up if you hate Clee Town" at their games so you can't have watched them very often!!

“SRKIB Are you Mr Nuel in disguise or just another member of the I hate everything about Clee Town gang? Maybe the young lad sees the opportunities to play regularly for a decent team at this very progressive club are worth more than saying I play for Brigg but never get a game.
Why do some people in this area want to slate any team that is doing well? The emergence of Cleethorpes Town has made the staff and players of Grimsby Borough up their game on and off the field and this can be seen in their league position. They have nearly hit their point total from last year already. We now have to good teams playing at a good level at excellent facilities at the FDC.
This can only be good for the area.”

“If the boy is anything like the dad, who is remembered with great fondness over here in Lincoln following his spell with Ruston Bucyrus, he will be a great signing. Hope you are OK Mick? Dawse”
