The Imps have completed the signing of Oscar Thorn from Colchester United for an undisclosed fee.
Thorn made 35 appearances for Colchester since joining from Norwich City’s Academy in February of 2023.
His senior debut came against Tottenham Hotspur U21 in the Vertu Trophy and the attacker had loan spells with Bath City and Chelmsford before establishing himself in the first team at the U’s.
Predominantly a right-winger, the youngster will bring much needed cover for Michael Skubala’s side following Jack Moylan’s serious ankle injury.
The 21-year-old becomes the Imps’ fifth signing of the summer and second bit of business of the day after selling Ethan Hamilton to Dundee FC earlier this afternoon.
Hamilton joined Lincoln at the start of the 2023/24 season and accumulated 82 appearances, including every competitive fixture so far this season.
The arrival of Thorn follows Everton attacker Frankie Okoronkwo and Ukrainian Under-21 international Ivan Varfolomeev who both joined the club last week.
On the new signing, head coach Michael Skubala told Lincoln City: “We are delighted that we have been able to bring Oscar to the club.
“He is quick, strong, direct, carries the ball well and adds another dimension to our attacking options. His physicality fits our profile well.
