The 2018-19 campaign delivered a vital season of consolidation for Grimsby Town, with The Mariners ultimately securing a safe 17th-place finish in League Two. Leading the line was the experienced striker Wes Thomas, whose 11 league goals proved crucial, notably contributing to a mid-season surge of form that pulled the club away from a tense relegation battle. The season, overseen by manager Michael Jolley, was built on resilience, turning around an early six-game losing streak to comfortably secure their Football League status and re-establish stability at Blundell Park.
