Sean Cann turns down Boston United to stick with Lincoln United
07:00 - 26 June 2009
Sean Cann.Lincoln United hotshot Sean Cann has snubbed the chance to join county rivals Boston United in the UniBond League Premier Division, and is staying at Ashby Avenue.
The prolific striker scored 22 goals for the Whites last season as Seamus Lawless's side narrowly missed out on the UniBond League Division One (South) play-offs.
His form was such that he was offered the chance to join the Pilgrims under new-look management team Paul Hurst and Rob Scott as the duo look to plot Boston's route back to Blue Square North.
However, Cann, who has also played for Lincoln Moorlands Railway, elected to stay with the Whites, much to the delight of manager Lawless, who has also signed wingers Rob Lund from Moorlands and Matt Lunn from Sleaford Town.
"Boston came in for Sean, but we have managed to persuade him to stay" said Lawless.
"This is a big coup for the club as they offered him a brilliant deal.
"He scored something like 22 goals in 23 games for the club last season, so for us to be able to hang on to him is tremendous news."
