Grimsby Town have signed Derby County goalkeeper Richard O'Donnell on an emergency one-week loan deal.

The 37-year-old will go straight into the team for Saturday's League Two trip to Swindon.

The Mariners have been allowed to bring in a keeper after first choice Christy Pym was sent off in last week's 1-0 home defeat by Chesterfield and back up Charlie Casper, 20, is yet to make a league start in his career.

O'Donnell has made 413 league appearances but has not played a competitive game since February 2024.
