Benson Makes Grimsby Switch

Josh Benson has joined Under-23s team-mate Anthony Glennon at Grimsby Town after agreeing a loan move until the end of the season.

The central midfielder will link up with the League Two side being re-shaped by recently appointed manager Ian Holloway.

Benson joined the Clarets at the start of last season after leaving Arsenal and has since been a mainstay of the U23 side that currently sits joint top of the Professional Development League's northern group after losing just once so far this season.

The 20-year-old has also been around the first-team set-up at Turf Moor, joining Sean Dyche’s squad for their pre-season trip to Ireland last summer and making it as far as the bench at Manchester United in the Premier League 12 months ago.
