**Grimsby Town Agree Deal to Sign Talented Young Forward from Sheffield Wednesday**
Grimsby Town have officially agreed to sign highly-rated young forward Jake Andrews from League One side Sheffield Wednesday, in a move that could strengthen their attacking options ahead of the next season. The 21-year-old is expected to join the Mariners on a two-year contract, with the deal set to be finalized once the summer transfer window opens.
Andrews, who progressed through Sheffield Wednesday’s academy, has impressed in the club’s U21 setup with his pace, technical ability, and goal-scoring instincts. Though he has yet to make a senior league appearance for the Owls, he was a standout performer in the Premier League 2 competition, notching 12 goals and six assists last season.
Grimsby Town manager David Artell expressed his excitement about the signing, stating: “Jake is a player we’ve monitored for some time. He brings creativity, energy, and a hunger to prove himself at senior level. We believe he’s got the potential to make a real impact in League Two.”
The move is seen as part of Grimsby’s broader strategy to invest in promising young talent, following a challenging season in which the club finished in the bottom half of the League Two table. The Mariners are keen to rebuild with a mix of youth and experience as they look to push for promotion in the upcoming campaign.
Andrews is expected to join up with the squad for pre-season training in June. Fans have taken to social media to welcome the signing, with many hopeful that the young forward can replicate his youth-level performances on the professional stage.
Further signings are anticipated in the coming weeks as Artell looks to reshape the squad ahead of the 2025/26 season.
