Grimsby-born Josh Fuller has emerged from Neil Woods' youth set, signing a professional deal in the 2009-10 season. A wide player with pace, Josh made his first-team debut coming on as sub during the home game with Macclesfield at the end of the 2008-09 season and went on to make two full appearances last term. He also lent support to the youth team's cup success with a starring role in the Midlands Floodlight Youth Cup Final in May and along with Bradley Wood is seen as a genuine name for the future.

Fuller played an active part in Town's pre-season games, scoring the opening goal in the 3-0 win at Frickley Athletic, and is one of a crop of young players Woods has at his disposal. Woods has admitted, though, that he will have to pick the games for the 18-year-old winger to play in, clearly worried about the rough and tumble of non-League.
