City Academy graduate Hayden Cann has signed a new deal which will keep him with the club at least until the summer of 2024 and, as the next stage of his development, will be joining Vanarama National League North side Peterborough Sports on a season-long loan.
The central defender makes the move following a successful loan spell at fellow Lincolnshire side Gainsborough Trinity last year, as the Holy Blues reached the play-offs of the PitchingIn Northern Premier League.
City’s director of football Jez George said: “Hayden epitomises all the qualities we value at Lincoln City. He is dedicated, selfless and has continued to develop as a first-year pro after completing his scholarship, playing 40+ games in step three and securing a loan at a level higher for this season.
“He is also a fantastic role model for a lot of really talented local young players within our Academy, having started his journey at Lincoln City at eight years old.”
