Experienced defender Lee Beevers won high praise from his manager as he returned to first-team football for the first time in several months in his Gainsborough Trinity debut.

The former Lincoln City and Mansfield Town utility player appeared to have ended his playing career before joining the Holy Blues this month.

He started in a three-man defence in the 1-0 home defeat to Nuneaton United on Saturday and then switched to right full-back as Trinity reverted to 4-4-2 in the second half.
