PROMOTION-WINNER Jordan Maguire-Drew is determined to play his part in Yeovil Town‘s revival.

The Glovers have started climbing the table under new boss Mark Cooper and they’ve now added the exciting attacker from League Two new boys Grimsby Town.

The 25-year-old will join on a month’s loan before the transfer becomes permanent in January.

Maguire-Drew won the National League title with Leyton Orient before playing a big role in Grimsby Town’s promotion through the play-offs last season, including scoring their extra-time winner.

The former Brighton, Dagenham and Worthing man said: “I’m delighted to be here and looking forward to getting started.

“I know the style of play that the manager wants to play. Yeovil is a big club and it shouldn’t be where it is.”

Cooper’s side were unbeaten in five National League games ahead of yesterday’s FA Trophy break, including wins against Gateshead and FC Halifax that have helped them climb out of the relegation zone.

They face a crunch double-header with rivals and strugglers Torquay United over the Christmas period.
