Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Marine announces the signing on a month loan of former Blackpool young player of the year Danny Mitchley.

Striker Mitchley, 23, joins Marine on loan from Altrincham.

In the previous two seasons he has played at Conference Club Mansfield Town including during that period a loan spell at Nuneaton Town.

Subject to registration clearance today the loan period starts with tomorrow’s game at home against Blyth Spartans and ends in the beginning of January.

Marine Chairman Paul Leary said:

“It is important that we maintain our challenge for a play off place as we head towards the end of the year. The signing on loan of Danny Mitchley will provide further options for Kevin in his search for more goals.”

Marine Manager Kevin Lynch said:

“We have missed having a target man since Marcus Carver returned to Accrington Stanley and the signing of Danny will give us that extra edge up front that we have been missing in recent games.”
