Former Bulls striker Alan Connell is 'not for sale' after a number of Championship sides were claimed to be watching the Grimsby man.
Connell, 27, signed a two year deal at Blundell Park in the summer and will not be sold in the January window, after scoring 14 times in 19 games, according to chairman John Fenty despite the club's losses over the last few seasons.
Fenty told a fans forum that the club had spent over £200,000 paying off players contracts over the last few seasons as a succession of managers failed to get the Mariners up into League One. They are expected to add to that sum with the despatch of keeper Nick Colgan, who Fenty confirmed had been frozen out of the club and would not play again.
