City youngster Kevin Ellison looks set to join Grimsby town next season as he is loaned out to the Mariners if reports are to be believed.

Grimsby already have former City player Stuart Campbell on the books when they took him on after a loan spell last season. With the possibility of a permanent move to Blundell Park City fans must be asking themselves what is happening to City's youth players.

Ellison will be the latest of a number of City's young players to go out on loan with most of the others never returning back. Since Taylor took charge Dudfield and Campbell have both left City after going out on loan to lower league clubs.

Ellison is reported to be joining up with the rest of the Grimsby Town squad today with Mariners boss Lawrence saying, "Kevin will be with us for Lilleshall, and then hopefully for the Sweden tour as well. We may try to do a similar thing with him as we did with Stuart Campbell last season."

Ellison joined City just five months ago for £50,000 from Unibond Premier League side Altrincham.

If he does leave City for good then he will have some good memories to take with him. He made his debut back in March against Manchester United when he came on as a second half substitute in front of 67,000 people at Old Trafford.!
