Young centre forward Malachi Linton has committed to the blues this week and signed a 2 year contract to stay at Crown Meadow. The Ipswich based front man has become an almost ever-present in the starting line up since joining the club from Crewe Alexandra earlier in the season and will look to build on his start with the club as he aims to fulfil his personal ambition of returning to the full-time game.

Godders said of the signing "I am delighted to have this done now, Mal has been fantastic since coming here and really settled in to the group. At 18 years old he still has lots of growth ahead of him and with time we will get to see even more from him i'm confident of that. Not many will know that Mal has turned down an offer from a higher level club to continue his progression with us and that shows a real maturity and commitment to playing his way back in to the football league. I genuinely hope he can contribute the progress of Lowestoft Town whilst following in his brothers (Curtley Williams) footsteps and swapping the Trawlerboys for a league club one day"

With no game this weekend (Hitchin playing in the cup) the next opportunity to see Malachi will be next Tuesday at Crown Meadow when we hope he can shoot us to victory against Kings Langley.
