Accrington teenager Bobby Grant has agreed a deal to join Scunthorpe, but a fee is still to be decided.
Teenager delighted to secure move to the Championship
Accrington Stanley teenager Bobby Grant has agreed a deal to join Scunthorpe United, but the two clubs have yet to settle on a fee.
Grant is out of contract at Accrington next month and has rejected an extension in favour of a move to Scunthorpe.
However, Stanley are entitled to compensation for the 19-year-old, with the fee to be decided by a tribunal if the clubs are unable to reach a compromise.
The striker is delighted to have secured a transfer to the Championship and concedes he could not reject the chance to move to Glanford Park.
Fresh start
"I'm very happy to be here," Grant told the club's
official website. "It's a great opportunity for me, playing in the Championship. It's what dreams are made of.
"This is a fresh start for me and hopefully I can perform now for Scunthorpe.
"I had a great season at Accrington Stanley last year, and I managed to hit a few goals.
"My agent then got in touch and told me that Scunthorpe were interested. As soon as I heard that there was only one place I was going, I couldn't turn this move down no matter what.
"I just want to get into the team and perform well at such a high stage and Scunthorpe have given me a chance to play at that level."
