"I’m delighted to get Reco to Gainsborough Trinity,” Woodhouse said. “Reco is very sought after and is a player that has a fantastic amount of ability, I’ve watched him plenty of times and he has the ability to glide past players with ease and is another player that will really excite the fans.

"Although I’m an admirer of Reco’s ability, I also believe he has a lot of scope to develop and add to his game.

“Something we spoke about was adding more goals that I believe takes him to that next level and that’s something we will be working on.

Fyfe said it was a no-brainer joining Trinity and he couldn’t wait to show what he can do.

"I'm over the moon to be joining this great club,” he said. “I can't wait to get back to doing what we all love and miss at this moment. When Curtis first contacted me and said he'd like for me to come to Gainsborough, I didn't even have to think about it. It's a massive opportunity for someone like me. With the squad the Gaffer is building, it fits me down to the T - young and hungry. This is the perfect time for me to step up and really show what I'm capable of! I've had a few years in non league now and I've adapted really well. I'm buzzing to get in and really push on, just like I imagine everyone else is."
