Sometimes footballers can decide a career move on a whim. Other times their decision can be a long and labouring process.
For Stephen Wearne, he let fate decide his next move. The midfielder left Sunderland at the end of last season after three years at the Stadium of Light. He admits he had a number of offers on the table but was struggling to decide on which one to take up.
Then, by chance, he was on holiday in Mexico weighing up his options when he spotted a Grimsby fan - and that was enough to convince him to move to the newly-promoted Mariners. Wearne immediately rang Grimsby chief Paul Hurst back and it wasn't long before the ink was soon drying on a one-year deal.
