Grimsby Town have signed former Blackburn Rovers midfielder Zak Gilsenan on a two-year deal.

The 22-year-old was a free agent after leaving Rovers at the end of his contract.

He made five appearances for the Championship side and scored on his senior debut against Walsall in the Carabao Cup in August 2023.

"He's a really good player with a lot of potential, excellent on the ball and we are really excited to start working with him," Mariners boss David Artell told the club website.
