GRIMSBY Town boss Neil Woods hasn't ruled out a 13th new face at Blundell Park before next week's transfer deadline.

Woods has already signed 12 players this summer and says it is possible he will add another body to the ranks before the window closes at 6pm on Tuesday.

He hasn't revealed any potential targets but it is understood he is in the hunt for another central midfield man.

He has run the rule over one player in that position this week with former Manchester United youngster Sam Hewson on trial and playing the full 90 minutes for the second-string against Lincoln City on Wednesday night.

Woods says no move for the 21-year-old Lancastrian is imminent and, being a free agent, there is no rush before the deadline.

The Telegraph understands there are other targets ahead of Hewson, however, and talks are ongoing to bolster the squad further.

Woods said: "We've had Sam with us this week and he's done okay.

"The lad is technically very good and that's what you expect when someone has the pedigree of coming through the ranks at Man United.

"He is short on fitness, though, as he hasn't had a pre-season.

"He's a great lad and likes it here so we'll talk with him and see what's what but nothing is imminent.

"There are other conversations going on ahead of the deadline and if we can find the right sort of player then it's possible we'll add someone else."
