Grayson’s Fleet bolstered

Simon Grayson is confident his Fleetwood squad is taking shape after some busy recruitment.

Grayson told Fleetwood’s official site: ‘This is my group of players now this summer, of course, some players are still here from last year but, you want a certain type of player when you come in as you want to play a different style to the previous manager. I wanted four or five new faces in the building before we came back on Wednesday, and we’ve done that so far.

‘There was a lot of players out of contract at the end of last season so I was able to look at the squad and keep whoever I wanted to keep, and some have moved on – all you can do is wish them well and everyone knows that it’s part of football.

‘I’m pleased with the work that we’ve done so far because it has been a busy summer in terms of meetings, Zoom calls, and recruitment meetings. It ultimately doesn’t stop there as we are looking to add more as we speak.’
