Hull youngster joins Gainsborough

Lovick, 20, who has been at the Tigers since joining at the U9s level, left the club following the conclusion of his contract in May.

The young midfielder joined Marske United in December 2022 on a one-month loan, where he featured twice in the Seasiders' FA Trophy campaign.

He has also enjoyed a loan spell at Pickering Town, featuring 13 appearances and claiming one assist.

On his move to the Holy Blues, Lovick said: "I’m very happy to have signed for Trinity. The gaffer gave me a message about what he wants from this season and as soon as I’d spoken to him, I knew I had to come.

"We want the club to be up there again this year, in and around the playoffs and hopefully get the club promoted.

"I'm a player who will get stuck in making tackles and do the dirty side of the game that other players don’t like doing. I'll rat about and give my all every time I am on the pitch."

Gainsborough Trinity manager Neal Bishop is delighted to secure the signature of the talented midfielder for next season.

"We identified Harry as soon as we knew Bailey was moving on, Harry is a pretty similar profile as a player," Bishop said.

"He is exactly what we like in members of our squad. He is young, energetic and good on the football. And he can develop."

"Since I came in through the door, we have targeted a typical profile of the player and he is that type, that profile that we have tried to bring to the club.

"Players that have maybe fallen out of full-time football, that are looking to get back up, that are eager, that really want to be at the football club.

"A couple have moved on this summer because of wages and different things, but I will only keep players here who want to play for Gainsborough, and everyone that has signed up so far, is looking forward to being here and ready to make us competitive for the coming season."
