Burnley fullback Anthony Glennon has secured the chance of EFL football after joining Grimsby Town on loan.

Left-back Glennon will stay with the League Two side until the end of the season as the first new signing for recently appointed Mariners' boss Ian Holloway.

"I finished training with Burnley yesterday and Ian Holloway phoned me", said Glennon.

"He said he wanted me to join on loan and train today so it was short notice but I came down last night.

"I need the experience, it's men's football and it's the next step for me."

Glennon has captained the Clarets' U23s this season during their unbeaten run in the Professional Development League.
