The veteran stopper was released last summer by Chris Turner and went on to play for Leicester City before being released and then helped out Leeds United and Coventry City.

But the Mariners are an experienced keeper down after Anthony Williams turned down an offer to stay at Blundell Park and joined newly-promoted Carlisle United.


Pressman, who’s 19 years at Hillsborough is probably something that we will never see again in the modern days of football, is due at testimonial at S6 although no date has been set.


If the rumours are true then he will meet up with his former club on Monday 18 July – Wednesday’s first major pre-season friendly after two weakened teams play Sheffield FC and Stocksbridge Park Steels.


Other friendlies include Partick Thistle on Wednesday 20 July, the Discovery Cup featuring
Dundee, Dundee United and Wolves on the weekend of the 23 July, Mansfield Town on Wednesday 27 July and Manchester City at home on Saturday 31 July.
