He made 21 appearances for Swindon in all competitions, as they were promoted to League One champions on points-per-game.<\/p>\n<p>It was the third time that the 32-year-old had won promotion to League One, having completed the feat twice previously with Northampton Town and Portsmouth retrospectively.<\/p>\n<p>He played a pivotal role in Portsmouth&#8217;s promotion, too. Rose scored five times in 38 league appearances, as Pompey finished the season as champions.<\/p>\n<p>The former <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester United<\/a> youngster will add a wealth of experience to the Grimsby midfield. Academy product Harry Clifton is the oldest central midfielder currently at the club, aged just 22. As a result, Grimsby Town manager Ian Holloway has moved quickly to address the issue.<\/p>\n<h3>What Was Said?<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking about his move to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grimsby-townfc.co.uk\/news\/2020\/august\/announcing-summer-signing-number-six\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official Grimsby Town website<\/a>, Rose said: &#8220;I jumped at the chance to work with Ian Holloway, as a lot of players would. After we had those chats my mind was made up, that\u2019s what I wanted to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I will bring quite a bit of experience to the team, I know the league well. I\u2019ve had a bit of success at this level too, hopefully, I can bring that element to our play, bring a bit of composure to our play.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He is the sixth player to join the Mariners this summer. Ian Holloway is looking to build a squad with a blend of experience and youth, who are also capable of a play-off push after finishing 15th in League Two last season.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"-7QAPmj2Qz9kWNLn5PlxCA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1061159928\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'-7QAPmj2Qz9kWNLn5PlxCA',sig:'eQFnM-0FYw1oFxJs2HdgSEiwDPqU9rKEELQOAl35x2s=',w:'594px',h:'395px',items:'1061159928',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grimsby Town have confirmed that they have signed midfielder Danny Rose after he was released by Swindon Town earlier this summer.
