Former Football League club. Good luck to Mr Lakeland and Sam Walker, who saved Lynn from relegation and turned them into a playoff team. I wonder how many of his Lynn signings will end up at Halifax?

Hmanni and Warbuton are favourite apparently.

Least the new Manager won't  have a load of Trappist dumped on him like previous Managers have had to endure.  So he can get down it from the opening day of pre season.

Sounds like a bad habit

Ssshhh.........don't talk about habits!

From Wrexham to King's Lynn via Hollywood

King's Lynn Town's new signing Reece Hall-Johnson will bring a bit of Hollywood magic to The Walks next season.

The 30-year-old began his career at Norwich City and also played over 60 games for Wrexham - the club owned by superstars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

"Ryan and Rob would pop over and come to watch training or be around the place, you end up seeing them as kind of your friends and people you know," said Hall-Johnson.

The defender signed for National North side King's Lynn from London club Barnet.


Reece Hall-Johnson was playing for Wrexham when they were promoted to League Two in 2023

Hall-Johnson began his career in Norfolk with Norwich City and still regards the FA Youth Cup win in 2013 as the highlight of his career.

"The majority of us still keep in contact. We had a lot of talented players and a talented coach and manager in Neil Adams.

"He believed in us and gave us the confidence to play with freedom, so that's why I owe a lot to Norwich," he told BBC Radio Norfolk.


After departing the Canaries, Hall-Johnson had spells at Grimsby and Northampton Town amongst others - before joining the Hollywood revolution in North Wales at Wrexham.

"After playing for Northampton, I moved to what people call 'the Hollywood club' nowadays.

"That was very interesting, very fun. I spent three years at Wrexham and absolutely loved it and the owners there are fantastic."

Hall-Johnson continued, "Everyone has seen how Ryan (Reynolds) and Rob (McElhenney) have done and it's just a testament to them that they've been able to do well with the club, so I couldn't have a bad word to say about them.

"We achieved promotion from the National League to League Two, which was really good."

Since Hall-Johnson left Wrexham, the club has had two more promotions and will compete in the Championship next season.

It's the first time the team has been in the second tier of English football since 1982.

So could Hall-Johnson's new club King's Lynn Town emulate Wrexham's rapid rise up the football pyramid?

Last season the Linnets reached the National North playoffs before losing to Chester.

The club has a new owner and a new head coach, with former Chesterfield boss James Rowe taking over from the departing Adam Lakeland.

Hall-Johnson says he is targeting another promotion to add to his CV.

"I spoke to the gaffer and he had a clear vision of where he wanted to take the club and a clear vision of what he wants to do in his career.

"That made it an easy decision for me to come to King's Lynn."

He continued: "For me, this is closer to the area where I grew up and closer to friends and family. Hopefully the fans will really like me and we can kick on and get promoted."

Does that mean Pay Boyes being shown the door ?  Surely we don't have the budget to run with 3 keepers

Think that's four now.   

If you're thinking of Tyler Key, he has re-signed for Ely City.
Not sure that he is still a Lynn player.

Thanks, although he is still showing on the Clubs website.

Playing devils advocate. We have signed a lot of youngsters from the south. A midfielder who's been injured a lot . A striker who is 35 scored 3 last season. A young lad who's jumping 2 leagues and Gold . In an ideal world every thing will be great . I have my doubts.... Thoughts?????

Affordable and sustainable football.

Bal did say the re-set button needed to be pressed.

Perhaps Jones is just going to be a coach.

Maybe.

Are there any of the youngster from the Academy ready to make the move up yet?

I've no idea what future stars we have there. Any in particular to keep an eye on?

Correct me if iam wrong but I sure I have read where it was written the Blue and Gold trust surporters club perhaps you could explain what you have against adding surporters club

Simply because it is a Trust and not a Club.

Apparently this was explained to you previously at the recent meeting you attended.

Really then why can't it be the Blue And Gold trust supporters club which I thought it was Iam positive this title would encourage more fans to become members correct me if iam wrong but I thought the whole idea was to increase the merbership

Because it's a Supporters Trust not a Supporters club!

It is the Blue & Gold Supporters' Trust!

Have a word with one of the Trust Directors. I'm sure they will explain the difference.

New members always welcome.

Well that's a good start with 50 new members but it could be better so I would appeal to more the fans out there that are humming and harring  wether to join the blue and gold surporters club to join the more fans we have the stronger we will be.I personally can't wait for the new  season to start it looks like the new manager really means business with all the new players coming in

It's NOT a club!

It's a Trust!
