Lincoln City have signed former Boreham Wood goalkeeper Grant Smith ahead of the upcoming football season.

Smith has been given a two-year deal at the club where he will replace outgoing keeper, Paul Farman.

He is moving away from the National League club after 100 consecutive games in goal.

The 24-year-old is the Imps’ fourth signing this summer, coming after the arrival of Michael O’Connor, Harry Toffolo and Smith’s own ex-teamate Bruno Andrade.

Danny Cowley said: “He has a fantastic attitude and has a real desire to improve and get better and he’s going to make it a really good fight for the number one spot. 

“That’s what we want, we want competition in all places, that competition is so important.

“What Grant has done has taken a monumental effort, and you often find that when people get an opportunity like this they really value it and I’ve got no doubt he’ll make the most of it.”

Smith arrives in time for pre-season which will begin later this week.

Luna Cinema is bringing movie magic back to Lincoln Castle with a screening of Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone in September.

Also on the bill this year is Box Office hit The Greatest Showman (now sold out) and the Battle of Britain.

The first in the phenomenally popular Harry Potter films will be shown under the stars inside the castle grounds on Friday, September 21.

Witches, wizards and muggles will be taken back to Harry, Hermione and Ron’s first days at Hogwarts from the enchanting castle.

Tickets cost £15 for general admission, £10 for children and £7.50 for disabled and carer general admission. More information and tickets are online here.
