Stourbridge Take Mariners Striker Until January

Glassboys borrow attacker.

Pitching In Southern Football League Premier Division Central club Stourbridge have signed striker Montel Gibson on loan from Vanarama National League new boys Grimsby Town until January 2022.

The 23-year-old was one of seven players to be included on a list distributed by the Mariners making them available for free transfer this summer.

He fell out of favour at Blundell Park following the arrival of manager Paul Hurst, having been signed by former boss Ian Holloway in the summer of 2020.

He started out in the youth ranks at Midland League Highgate United before being signed by Notts County.

He spent the 2016/17 campaign out on loan at various non-League clubs, including Romulus, Barwell, Hednesford Town and Sutton Coldfield Town.

After being released in the summer of 2017, he signed for Ilkeston Town before he joined Redditch United in March 2018.

He then switched to Bedworth United in November 2018 before linking up with Halesowen Town in July 2019.

His goalscoring prowess over the next eight months or so saw Halesowen in promotion contention in the Southern Division One Central and the Yeltz also memorably reached the semi-finals of the Buildbase FA Trophy before the pandemic brought an early end to the 2019/20 season.

However, Gibson`s exploits had not gone unnoticed and in the summer of 2020, he was signed by Holloway on a three-year deal.

He spent a short period out on loan at National League outfit Altrincham last season, having made 23 appearances for the Mariners before that, scoring 3 goals in the process.
