Grimsby Town midfielder James Hunt will return to the squad for the clash at Morecambe on Saturday after a thigh injury.Hunt missed the midweek Johnstone's Paint Trophy win at Morecambe due to a bruised thigh, but is back in contention.

But Mariners manager Alan Buckley is still without fellow midfielder Ciaran Toner, who is recovering from a knock on the ankle which kept him out of the first leg of the northern area final on Tuesday night.

Striker Martin Butler could return to contention after scoring for the reserves in midweek.

Butler has not appeared for Grimsby since New Year's Day due to a back problem.

Buckley has no other new injury or suspension worries as the Mariners look to get their late play-off charge back on track with a first win in three league matches.
