Gregg Smith breaks 32-year record at Gainsborough

Striker Gregg Smith has become the quickest player to score 10 goals for the Holy Blues in 32 years.

Smith joined the BetVictor Northern Premier League club just before Christmas from rivals Grantham Town, having also previously appeared for Boston United, Spalding United and Tamworth and Brackley.

The impressive forward has now scored 10 goals, bagging a brace in the 4-1 victory over Radcliffe in the league, and is the quickest player to do so for the club in 32 years.

He has also scored against Matlock Town (January 1), Whitby Town (January 4), Radcliffe (January 18), Stalybridge Celtic (February 4/15 February), Buxton (February 8), South Shields (29 February).

“I’m loving my time at Gainsborough,” said Smith.

“The fans are great and the lads are class. I have really enjoyed it under the management team, they have been brilliant since I’ve come to the football club.

“I’m pleased to make a bit of history and hopefully I can make some more.

“My goal is to score as many as I can and finish as high in the table as we can.”

Gainsborough currently sit 12th in the league table, and recently defeated promotion-chasers Lancaster City 1-0, with a goal from Nicky Walker inside the first 10 minutes.
