Jason Bradley, a 19-year-old striker, has joined the club until the end of the season.

Retford-born Bradley has had spells at Sheffield Wednesday and Darlington, and made his debut off the bench in the closing stages of the victory over Stalybridge.

Trinity have also boosted their defensive options by capturing Boston United player Lee Canoville, who has joined on loan until the end of the season from British Gas League Premier Division side Halesowen.

Canoville is an experienced player, having had spells with football league clubs Shrewsbury and Northampton, and was at Notts County last season.


Chairman Peter Swann has also confirmed that Trinity have had an offer accepted by Harrogate Town for defender Nathan Peat.
Now in his second season at Harrogate, Peat has made 30 appearances this season and is a spectacular free-kick specialist.

Trinity are awaiting a response from the player who would bring even more depth and experience to an ever growing squad at the Northolme.
The Blues are without a fixture on Saturday, but are back in action on Tuesday night when Burscough visit.

Trinity previously beat the struggling Linnetts 2-0, with two penalties from Lewis McMahon.

McMahon himself has won praise this week from England C manager Paul Fairclough, after the Gainsborough Trinity forward turned in a true captain's performance as England demolished the Malta Under 21s.

Fairclough said he was impressed by McMahon's dedication and professionalism.

"Lewis came down with the rest of the lads, and we observed them, not just in training, but how they conducted themselves around the camp," he said.

"After seeing the way Lewis was about the camp and how was with the lads, I had no reservations in giving him the armband."
"His performance on the field was also impressive, and he and the other lads have certainly given me a headache selection wise for the next fixtures."

McMahon himself was understandably proud to lead his country, but was full of praise for his colleagues
He said: "The lads were brilliant, they didn't put a foot wrong, or miss a tackle."

"Paul (Fairclough) said it was the best C team performance he had seen. We just got amongst them and things came off for us, and I though I played well too."

McMahon was selected to captain the side ahead of players who are skippers at their clubs, so it was a massive honour for the former Notts County man to lead out the side.

"I'm very proud, I've got the shirt and armband and I'll be getting them framed," he said.
"I hope I get the chance to be involved again."

Trinity manager Steve Charles was also full of praise for McMahon. "It's a massive honour for him, and also the club," he said. "It also shows that people are watching our players and that the opportunities are there if players are performing."
