The likes of Chris Doig, Michael McGlinchey and Nick Travis are all on board and the coach is hoping this week brings further good news.

He said: "We've got 21, and we'll probably sign one more. We've got a couple more trialists coming from overseas, one of whom comes highly recommended by Sheffield (United), through their relationship with Ferencvaros, so fingers crossed that something comes out of that.
 
"The squad is looking good, it's very competitive and we have a bit of depth there."
 
And before the attention turns to the opening day date with the Victory, Mariners Members and Fans have the chance to wish their heroes luck for the upcoming campaign, at a massive Family Fun Day at Bluetongue Stadium today (Sunday).
  
"Last year was great, we had about 2 or 3-thousand people here and I'm sure we'll have the same numbers this year, hopefully  if it's weather like this, it will be a great day," said McKinna.
 
"We're training here first and then to the fan day for a couple of hours, to help publicise the first (home) game against the Jets on the 14th. That's always a special game. It doesn't matter how the teams are going, it's passionate, the fans hate each other, players hate each other, it all comes down to the local derby."
