One to watch
Striker, James Hanson.
Although the experienced striker has not bagged as many goals as he would have liked so far this season, Hanson provides a real physical threat and a target for the Mariners in attack.
The Bradford born striker really made his name at his home town club over an eight year period with The Bantams. Starting in 2009, Hanson went on to appear 283 times and scored 77 goals for the club. He was a figure head of Bradford’s famous League Cup run to the final, beating the likes of Arsenal and Aston Villa as well as gaining promotion for the Valley Parade side.
In 2017, he made the move to Sheffield United but appearances were limited at The Blades and as a result, he moved on loan to Bury.
Later moves followed to AFC Wimbledon and then his current team Grimsby Town. The 33 year old will be looking to lead the way in helping the Mariners escape the drop this season.
