Player to watch – Jonathon Margetts

Jonathon Margetts is King’s Lynn Town’s top scorer in the league this season with eight goals and the 31-year-old should be a danger man again on Tuesday evening.

Margetts eager to perform against former club

Margetts had a stint with Scunthorpe earlier in his career, so the forward will be itching to put on a show when he visits his old stomping ground in King Lynn’s colours on New Year’s Eve.
