Cleethorpes sign ex-Oxford, Newport, Aldershot, Pompey, Swindon, Grimsby, Darlington player

Cleethorpes Town please fans as they sign ex-Oxford, Newport, Aldershot, Pompey, Swindon, Grimsby, Darlington player Danny Rose.

The 35 year old played as a midfielder for National League North club Darlington, where he was recently also a first-team coach.

A former captain of Manchester United Reserves, Rose joined Oxford United in 2007 following a four-month loan stint.

He switched to Newport County the year after, and helped guide them to the Conference South title in 2009–10.

He was sold to Fleetwood Town in January 2012, and was part of the side that won the Conference Premier title in 2011–12, before returning to the U’s in June 2013.

After a short spell with Northampton Town in 2016, he spent three seasons at Portsmouth and one with Swindon Town before signing for Grimsby Town in 2020.

He spent time on loan at Darlington in 2021–22 before joining on a permanent contract, playing over 40 times, and then signed for Northern Premier League Division One East outfit Cleethorpes.

He also captained the England C team in 2012.
