Grimsby Town have announced the arrival of Tyrell Warren as the clubs first signing of the summer.
The Manchester-born full-back joins the Mariners on a two-year deal following the expiry of his contract at AFC Barrow after the completion of the 2023/24 campaign.
Warren featured 61 times in his two years with the Bluebirds, playing 18 times last term, scoring twice, both goals coming in Sky Bet League Two.
After developing through the Manchester United Academy, Warren joined Salford City U21’s before spells on loan at Radcliffe and Boston United respectively. He joined Boston on a free in September 2020 so is no stranger to the area having had a year and a half with the Pilgrims.
With National League experience at Halifax and two years at Barrow in League Two, at 25 the full back comes with experience and versatility having played in central defence and right midfield as well his natural position of right-back.
Warren featured in both meetings with the Mariners last season and becomes David Artell’s first capture of the summer.
After making his first summer signing, Head Coach David Artell said: “We’re delighted, we’ve moved quickly to get it done. He’s got an impressive pedigree coming through Manchester United, he’s now found his feet in professional football and done well under Pete (Wild) at Barrow.
“We feel as though there’s even more to come, so we’re looking forward to developing him and making even better than what he already is, we’re really excited.”
On making the move Warren said: “I’m very happy to be here, I can’t wait to get started.
“I had a zoom meeting with the gaffer and it was really good, I was very impressed with what I was shown.”
The deal is subject to EFL and FA ratification.
