This afternoon Fleetwood Town midfielder Nathan Pond joined the Mariners on a month's loan. 

The 28 year-old has made over 250 league and cup appearances for The Cod Army during his 8-year tenure. Pond was a member of last season’s promotion winning squad and is known as an imposing and physical midfielder with an eye for goal and excellent touch.

The new signing will hopefully be available for the season opener tomorrow at Southport.
