Grantham Town FC have announced their first new signing for the coming season - as experienced midfielder Danny Racchi joins The Gingerbreads.

The exciting 31 year old playmaker began his career at Huddersfield Town before spells at Bury and York City. In addition, he has spent time playing in Scotland for Kilmarnock and in Iceland at Valur.

Danny started last season with Curzon Ashton before joining Hednesford Town, where he came up against The Gingerbreads at the start of March.

Paul Rawden was delighted to confirm the first new name in his squad and said: "Danny is the first of many names we'll see coming into the club. He's got bags of experience at a higher level, he's what we need in the middle of the park."

Said Racchi: "I'm really pleased to get things sorted early. It means we can hit the pre-season training hard from the off.

"We're going to be part of a new squad that knows what happened last year and we're going to want to put a smile back on the supporters faces. Football is all about winning but we have to put the hard work in first.

"Paul and Russ Cousins put me under no illusions of what they want from me. I'm going to enjoy the next few weeks before we get going."
