Aidan Grant: Lincoln City goalkeeper signs full-time deal

Lincoln are currently ninth in the Conference, just two points off the playoff spots

Conference side Lincoln City have given former Newcastle and Aston Villa goalkeeper Aidan Grant full-time terms.

Grant, 19, has signed until the end of the season, having been on a non-contract deal since mid-January.

The 6ft 6ins keeper played three games for South Shields in the Northern League Division Two earlier this year, before a short spell with Peterborough.

He was on the substitutes bench nine times, but failed to make an appearance for the League One team.
