Lincoln City have continued to strengthen in defence, confirming the arrival of Adam Jackson.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The central defender’s arrival follows the confirmation on TJ Eyoma’s<\/a> return to the LNER Stadium. The Tottenham youngster has joined on a season-long loan.<\/p>\n

Vital Addition in Defence<\/h3>\n

The 26-year-old’s arrival is a much-needed addition at the heart of defence.<\/p>\n

Imps boss Michael Appleton currently has just two outright centre-back’s in his squad in Cian Bolger and Lewis Montsma<\/a>. As a result, Appleton has been quick to add at least one more central defender to his squad.<\/p>\n

Jackson, unlike fellow summer signing Montsma, does have experience in the EFL. He began his career with Middlesbrough, and enjoyed loan spells with Coventry City and Hartlepool United in the EFL.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old then made the step up to the Championship, joining Barnsley in the summer of 2016.<\/p>\n

He made 38 appearances for the Tykes, before joining Scottish club Hibernian last summer, from whom he joins the Imps from.<\/p>\n

Delighted to Join the Club<\/h3>\n

Speaking about his move to the official Lincoln City website<\/a>, Jackson said: \u201cI\u2019m buzzing to be here, it\u2019s been on the cards for the last couple of weeks and I\u2019m happy for it to finally get over the line.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to think I am honest, reliable and hard-working and I\u2019ll give 100% every time I wear the shirt. I can also get the ball down and play in the style that we are looking to implement this season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manager Michael Appleton expressed his delight about adding an experienced defender to his squad, saying: \u00a0“Adam brings great experience to this group and I\u2019m delighted to sign him. He is comfortable on the left and right at centre half and is a real asset in both boxes. I\u2019m really looking forward to working with him.\u201d<\/p>\n
