Lincoln City manager Peter Jackson has admitted defeat in his bid to sign Mansfield Town's in-demand striker Michael Boulding.

The 32-year-old former Aston Villa forward found the net 25 times for the Stags last term, even though the club were relegated to the Blue Square Premier League.

"Assistant manager Iffy Onuora went to see Michael in Sheffield and he made it clear that he'd like to play as high as he possibly can, which is League One or above," Jackson told the Lincolnshire Echo.

"Obviously, that rules us out of the equation, which is a shame because I really wanted to bring him here.

"Naturally, it's very disappointing that he doesn't look likely to be coming here, because he was someone who I thought would give us an added dimension.

"But it's not to be so we shall now have to look elsewhere."
