Chris Maguire: Lincoln City sign forward following his exit from Sunderland

Lincoln City have signed Chris Maguire following his exit from fellow League One side Sunderland.

It is the third time the twice-capped Scotland international has been signed by Imps boss Michael Appleton.

The ex-Aberdeen, Derby and Sheffield Wednesday forward also played for Appleton at Portsmouth and Oxford.

He is Lincoln's second summer signing following the arrival of teenage Manchester City midfielder Lewis Fiorini on a season-long loan.

Lincoln beat Sunderland in the League One play-off semi-final in May before losing to Blackpool in the final.

Maguire was an unused sub in the first leg of the semi-final before playing in Sunderland's 2-1 second-leg win.
