Akpa Akpro signed an 18-month deal with the Mariners in December after impressing in a reserve game. He then went on to help Grimsby retain their Football League status and Newell is pleased with the way that he has developed. "He's a great lad and he has a great attitude," he told his club's official website. "When I first saw him you could see that he just had something. "I think there's a lot more to come from Jean-Louis and I think he will get better and better playing alongside Barry (Conlon)."
