Elliott Whitehouse (2017-2018 Forest Green Rovers)

Elliott Whitehouse left the Imps not long after we failed to win promotion in our first season back in the Football League. He spent time with Grimsby but, as we know, he is now with Forest Green. He’s only turned out a couple of times for them after his ban last season, scoring his first goal against us in the FA Cup.

Alex Woodyard (2017-2018 AFC Wimbledon)

Alex left for better things back at the end of 2017/18, but as he struggled at Peterborough we flourished. he’s now closer to home, playing for AFC Wimbledon, where he has appeared 14 times so far this season and is a key part of their quest to push into the top six, which they are currently just two wins away from.

Ellis Chapman 2017-2020 Cheltenham Town)

Ellis’ future was a long drawn out affair this summer, but he has found a home at Cheltenham where he is currently impressing. He has five appearances, one from the bench and four starts, all of which the Robins have won. With regular game time, he is likely to climb back into League One before too long.

Bruno Andrade (2018-2020 Salford City)

Andrade’s move to Salford was one of the more bizarre switches last season, especially after the links to bigger clubs. He’s playing regualrly for Salford City, where he has two goals this season,

Kellan Gordon 2018-2019 Mansfield Town)

Kellan Gordon didn’t get much game time at the club, but he did score a couple of crucial goals to earn a draw against mansfield exactly two years ago today, and to beat Forest Green. He’s played 12 times for struggling Mansfield this season, whom he made a permanent switch to last season.

Jordon Maguire Drew (2017 Leyton Orient)

Another player who got limited game time at Sincil Bank was Maguire-Drew. He bagged twice for the club, both coming in the EFL trophy, before being returned to his parent club. He’s since carved out a career for himself with Leyton Orient, for whom he has scored twice this season.

Joe Morrell (2019-2020 Luton)

Morrell was our Player of the Year last season, and rightly so, but found himself surplus to requirements at Bristol City. He joined Luton for an undisclosed fee on October 15th, and has appeared foru times for them, as well as turning out seven times for Wales this season.

Tom Pett (2018-2020 Stevenage)

Tom was a much-liked member of the 2018/19 title-winning squad who struggled for chances under Michael Appleton. He’s returned to Stevenage, the club we signed him from in January 2018, and he’s a big hit, bagging a goal at the weekend and an assist on his debut.

Jack Payne (2019-2020 Swindon)

I’ve covered Jack here, but he’s doing well at Swindon and likely to feature this evening.
