Today, the imps have agreed the signing of talented attacker, Charles Vernam after the expiry of his contract at Bradford City. Vernam has been linked with City for most of the summer after an impressive League Two campaign, scoring seven goals and assisting four times in twenty seven games, contributing around every two games.

He said: “Being from the area it means a little bit more, my family live here and I’m incredibly proud to represent this club. I’m hoping to play a big role in this club on and off the pitch in the community.  

“I’ve played against Lincoln for numerous clubs before and feel there is a very particular style I can fit into. It’s an opportunity to progress and make that step to the division above – every player wants to play at the highest level and it’s an opportunity to give the club everything as I come into the prime of my career.”

City head coach Mark Kennedy added: “Charles is a player who fits what we want from an attacking player – someone who can be direct and aggressive going forward. 

“He’s a Lincoln lad who we know is looking forward to representing his hometown club.  He has excellent attributes, can create and score goals, will be a real attacking threat and we are delighted to have signed him when as a free agent, he’s had a lot of other interest. Charles is a great age and has the ability to make a big contribution in what we are building moving forward.”
