Frecklington Brings In Young Stag On Loan
By Steve Whitney
Following Tuesday night’s disappointing 2-4 home reverse at the hands of Blyth Spartans, Gainsborough Trinity manager Dave Frecklington has wasted little time in strengthening his squad that has become decimated by injuries since the big kick-off on Augus
Frecklington has brought in Lewis Collins on loan from SkyBet League Two side Mansfield Town.
At 20 years of age, Collins is described as a reliable midfielder, with a range of passing that can unlock the most stubborn of defences.
A Grimsby Town academy graduate, Collins impressed enough to be offered a deal at Championship club Reading.
The midfielder then spent a six-month loan spell in non-League football at Farnborough before signing a professional deal and joining Mansfield on the expiration of his contract with the Royals in the summer of 2016.
Collins goes into the mix for Saturday’s game with high-flying Harrogate Town at the Martin & Co Arena.
