Grimsby Town have completed the season-long loan signing of midfielder Ryley Reynolds from Notts County. The 20-year-old spent last season on loan at Kidderminster Harriers, helping them secure promotion from National League North. Reynolds could make his debut in Saturday’s League Two opener against Exeter City.

Who is Ryley Reynolds?

Reynolds is an energetic midfielder known for his technical ability and creativity. He can play between the lines, create chances, and get into goalscoring positions. Grimsby manager Dave Artell praised his qualities, calling him a "technically good" player who fits the team’s style.

Why this move matters for Grimsby

After finishing 7th in League Two last season with 78 points (22W-12D-12L), Grimsby are looking to strengthen their midfield. Reynolds adds depth and creativity, which could be crucial in their push for promotion. The Mariners scored 74 goals last season but conceded 50, showing room for improvement in both attack and defense.

What’s next for Reynolds?

Reynolds is expected to be in contention for Grimsby’s first match of the season against Exeter. If he performs well, he could become a key player in Artell’s plans. The Mariners face Bristol Rovers away on February 20, 2027, in a key fixture against a team currently 14th in the table.
