Grimsby Town manager Mike Newell has continued to revamp his winless squad by swooping to sign Barnsley defender Rob Atkinson on loan.
It will be the 21-year-old's second stint at Blundell Park, after he featured in 29 games for the Mariners during a lengthy loan spell with the club last term.
Atkinson will remain with Town until the beginning of January and will be allowed to play in the club's FA Cup games.
He has made ten first-team appearances for Barnsley and also enjoyed loan spells with Scarborough, Halifax Town and Rochdale in the last three years.
