It’s been a busy, bright week around Sincil Bank, with Lincoln City making it clear they mean business in the run-in. The Imps have added Scotland Under-21 forward Ryan One on loan from Sheffield United until the end of the season, a move that feels aimed squarely at keeping the promotion push fizzing. For supporters, it’s the kind of signing that brings a little extra buzz on matchday – a young talent with something to prove and the pace to change a game.
At the back, the club have also strengthened for both now and later, bringing in defender Deji Elerewe from Bromley on a three-and-a-half-year deal. It’s the sort of recruitment that signals planning as well as ambition: not just a quick fix, but a player the club believe can grow with Lincoln City. In a league where momentum can swing quickly, adding depth and competition is often the difference between a good season and a great one.
There was more good news for continuity too, as Adam Reach extended his contract through to the end of the 2026–27 season. In a squad that’s evolving, keeping experienced, reliable figures matters – not only for performances on the pitch, but for the standards set day-to-day. For fans, it’s reassuring to see the club tying down players who’ve become familiar, trusted parts of the story.
Off the pitch, attention has turned to the looming takeover and the words of American businessman Ron Fowler, who says he was drawn in by Lincoln’s ‘David and Goliath’ spirit. Whatever people make of football’s changing financial landscape, that phrase will resonate in this city and across Lincolnshire: a community club that has repeatedly punched above its weight, powered by connection, hard work and a refusal to be overawed.
Put together, this week’s headlines paint a picture of a club trying to blend ambition with identity – bringing in new faces, backing key players, and talking openly about what makes Lincoln City special. For Lincoln and the wider county, it’s a reminder that the Imps aren’t just chasing points; they’re carrying a sense of shared pride that spills out from the terraces into pubs, workplaces and living rooms every weekend.
