Grimsby Town have just six games to ensure their safety, currently just four points above the relegation zone as we enter the final month of the campaign
Grimsby Town has had a difficult League Two season and currently sits in 21st place in the table. If David Artell’s team wants to stay out of the National League, they just need to get points.
Many players on the Mariners’ roster are targets for trades should they be demoted, and some are more likely than others to leave this summer if the team is forced into the National League.
Here, we examine three players who might leave Grimsby Town in the event of their relegation this year.
Toby Mullarkey
For Grimsby this season, right-back Mullarkey has been a reliable player, starting 34 of the 35 games he has played in the fourth division.
In a struggling team, the 28-year-old has contributed three assists and one goal to the score while also showing himself to be a reliable defensive back. His contract expires in 2025, but if non-league ballroom calls once more, the Mariners may decide to cash in.
Abo Eisa
A standout player for Artell’s men, Eisa has scored nine goals and registered four assists this campaign from the left flank.
The Sudan international’s present contract expires this summer, so moving abroad may be imminent whether or not Grimsby Town makes it to safety. It doesn’t seem likely that he would stay if they do go down, though.
Harvey Rodgers
This season, Rodgers has made 40 appearances across all competitions, and if they do make it, his impact will be crucial.
Grimsby’s importance was demonstrated when he gave up six goals the last time he was benched and five goals the last time he did not. The 27-year-old centre back’s contract expires in 2026, but if relegation occurs, there will undoubtedly be other teams interested in signing him.
