The 2016-17 campaign was a tumultuous but ultimately successful season of consolidation for Grimsby Town, as The Mariners finished 14th in League Two in their first year back in the English Football League. Leading the charge with sensational form was striker Omar Bogle, whose incredible 19 goals before his January transfer anchored the attack and showcased his immense talent. Despite a season of managerial instability that saw the club employ three different coaches, Bogle's prolific spell remains the defining chapter of a year that ensured the club's hard-fought re-establishment in the professional ranks.
