Grimsby are reporting that their goalkeeping coach Steve Croudson is joining City. Not sure where that leaves Gary Walsh.
Hull City are believed to be adding Grimsby Town goalkeeping coach Steve Croudson to their backroom staff for next season. The Mariners have confirmed that the 33-year-old is leaving Blundell Park to take up a position at a Premier League club, believed to be the Tigers. With former Manchester United stopper Gary Walsh responsible for City’s first-team keepers, it looks likely that Croudson will work with the development squad and form part of the new-look Academy set-up at Bishop Burton College from July. Having initially joined the Mariners as an apprentice in 1997, Croudson returned in 2007 and became an integral part of their coaching staff. “Grimsby Town Football Club would like to thank Steve for all his hard work and commitment to the club and wish him all the best for the future,” said a statement on the Mariners’ official club website. http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Hull...ory-21080522-detail/story.html?#ixzz31Ej3BIcB

In response to some of the other comments on that thread about closer links, I completely agree. GTFC should become our feeder club as we plant the flag south of the river.
