Former Birmingham City striker completes League Two switch

The forward has scored 29 goals in his last two seasons

Birmingham City breaking news and transfer activity 26/6

Former Birmingham City forward Matt Green has signed for Lincoln City.

The 30-year-old has put pen to paper on a two-year deal with the League Two side after leaving Mansfield Town this summer.

Blues signed Green from Mansfield in 2013, handing him a two-year contract after he had scored 57 goals in 97 games in the Conference.

The striker made his debut on the opening day of the 2013/14 season in the 1-0 loss against Watford, and scored his first goal in the 3-2 defeat against Leicester City three weeks later.

Green's continuing injury problems meant that game time was limited and he only added one more to his Blues account - a close-range finish in a 3-1 League Cup victory against Swansea - before being released in 2015 when his contract expired.

He returned to Mansfield where he scored another 29 goals in his last two seasons, but has made the switch to newly-promoted Lincoln.

Imps boss Danny Cowley said: "We’re delighted to be able to sign Matt. It’s one we’ve been working really hard on behind the scenes to get over the line.

"We did really well to score 109 goals as a club last season, with our top scorer getting 14, so to be able to add Matt to that is massive."
