Grimsby Town Bring In Ball Winner Derek Niven

GRIMSBY TOWN have completed the signing of former skipper Derek Niven.

Scotsman Niven, 28, was released by the Spireites earlier this summer following an eight-and-a-half year spell with the Derbyshire outfit.

The former Raith Rovers and Bolton Wanderers midfielder subsequently joined the Mariners on trial and has now put pen-to-paper on a one-year deal with them.

Mariners joint-manager Paul Hurst is confident Niven will be a success at Blundell Park.

Hurst told the club's website: “Derek's main strengths are breaking play up and being a ball winner.

“He knows what it's about and I've got no doubts he'll prove his worth.”
