Red Imps chance for Graham

Lincoln City have landed experienced forward David Graham on a short-term contract.
The 29-year-old has signed a six-month deal with the Red Imps following his release by Gillingham at the end of the last season.
Lincoln boss Peter Jackson worked with Graham during his time at Huddersfield Town and has challenged the former Scotland Under-21 international to recapture the form he showed earlier in his career.
"Dave Graham was an excellent player in this division when he was at Torquay," he told the club's official website.
"He went on to Wigan and Sheffield Wednesday but his career never really kicked on from there.
"He's not done anything since he was paid up by Gillingham towards the end of the season so I feel it's a waste of a footballer and a waste of a talent. I've told Dave this and Dave realises it as well.
"He knows he's underachieved over the past 12-15 months so is coming here to prove what a quality player he is."
Meanwhile, Jackson is also in talks with veteran defender Frank Sinclair and has allowed Nat Brown to leave Sincil Bank on a free transfer and sign for Wrexham.
