Grimsby Town have signed defender Reece Staunton on a two-year contract from Spennymoor Town.

Staunton moves to Blundell Park on a free transfer from the National League North club.

The 24-year-old played in the EFL for Bradford City after coming through their academy, before dropping down into non-league.

"I'm buzzing to be here and it's something I've dreamt of for the last three years, coming back to the EFL," Staunton told the club's website.

He is Grimsby's second summer signing, following that of Altrincham forward Justin Amaluzor.
