Sweeney first joined the London side at the age of seven and made 60 league appearances for Richie Wellens' men.
"He's someone that we've had our eyes on for quite a while, so we are delighted that he's chosen us," Grimsby boss David Artell told the club website.

Report: Liverpool set £50m price as Newcastle eye winger
Harvey Elliott to Newcastle? Ornstein Reveals Magpies Lead the Chase Newcastle United have emerged as front-runners in the pursuit of Harvey Elliott, with David Ornstein of The Athletic reporting that the Magpies are ahead of European challengers RB Leipzig in the race for the Liverpool winger. After a frustrating 2024/25 season in which Elliott managed just two Premier League starts—both coming after Liverpool had already secured the title—his Anfield future looks increasingly uncertain. Advertisement Despite limited club action this season, Elliott's star rose on the international stage this summer. The 22-year-old was named Player of the Tournament at the Under-21 European Championship, netting five goals and playing a pivotal role in England's triumph. His performances reignited interest across Europe, but it's Newcastle's Champions League qualification that places them firmly in pole position. Newcastle's Advantage Over Leipzig According to Ornstein, Elliott's desire to compete at an elite level is central to his decision-making. 'Elliott wants to operate at an elite level if leaving Liverpool,' Ornstein wrote, with Champions League football cited as a key motivator. While RB Leipzig, backed by Jurgen Klopp in his new role as head of global soccer for Red Bull, have shown interest, their absence from European football next season leaves them trailing. Photo: IMAGO Advertisement Eddie Howe, a known admirer of Elliott has a big advantage to offer over RB Leipzig, their ability to offer top-tier European football, combined with Howe's vision, makes Tyneside an attractive destination for the versatile left-footer. Liverpool's Price Tag and Buy-Back Clause The transfer fee could prove decisive. Ornstein reports: 'Liverpool would want any deal for Elliott to produce a fee in excess of £40m plus a buy-back option, or above £50m without one.' Given Howe's long-term plans, he may push for a clean deal without a buy-back clause, potentially stretching to the £50m mark. Selling Elliott at such a price would represent 'pure profit' for Liverpool due to his homegrown status. These deals significantly boost a club's financial muscle within FFP constraints—something that could fund further reinforcements for Arne Slot's Reds. Our View – EPL Index Analysis From a Newcastle United supporter's perspective, the idea of bringing in Harvey Elliott is both exciting and pragmatic. At just 22, Elliott already boasts European tournament honours, top-tier Premier League experience, and a playing style that aligns well with Eddie Howe's system. Advertisement The need for creativity and control in wide areas has become evident over the past season, especially with injuries to key players and an over-reliance on Isak and Gordon. Elliott's ability to operate between the lines, coupled with his eye for goal—as demonstrated in the Under-21 Euros—could add a new dimension to the squad. The reported £50m fee is significant, but considering Elliott's age, homegrown status, and resale potential, it's an investment with long-term benefits. More importantly, fans would back a deal without a buy-back clause; if Newcastle are building for the future, it makes sense to retain full control over rising talents. Some supporters may be concerned about the Isak angle—rightly so. If his sale becomes a consequence of funding Elliott's arrival, it could spark unrest. Isak has been central to Newcastle's return to Europe and would be tough to replace. However, if it's part of a broader restructuring strategy to comply with financial rules while deepening the squad, it may be a necessary sacrifice.

Wimbledon Investors Turn 75% Profit Trading Access to VIP Seats
For two weeks every summer, the Centre Court at Wimbledon is where fans can watch the best tennis players in the sport's most prestigious amphitheater. For some of the most expensive ticket holders, it's not even worth attending. That's because owning so-called debentures – a guaranteed seat on Centre Court or No. 1 Court for a five-year stretch – has become so profitable that many are choosing to treat them as a tradeable asset, selling them on for a significant profit.
