Grimsby manager Mike Newell has announced his intention to keep hold of centre-back Ryan Bennett, subject of interest from Peterborough.

Newell told the Grimsby Telegraph: "There will be no-one else going out unless Ryan goes.

"I said before that no-one in their right mind sells a player in the close-season and it's certainly not my intention at the moment.

"The situation can be taken out of your hands if a club forces your hand, but I certainly wouldn't expect to be selling Ryan when we are not even playing football."
