Midfielder Ian Ross rejoined Boston United in November 2011 from league rivals Harrogate Town. After making 14 appearances for Harrogate in the opening weeks of the season, Ross left Wetherby Road and linked up once again with former Boston and Notts County team-mates Jason Lee and Lee Canoville. Ross marked his senior debut with the winning goal for Sheffield United against the Pilgrims in August 2005’s Carling Cup tie — before joining Boston on loan shortly afterwards. He scored four times in 16 appearances during a three-month spell with the Pilgrims and was duly named Powerade player of the month in Coca-Cola League 2 during his stint in Lincolnshire. Loan spells with Bury, Notts County and Rotherham United followed — before Ross dropped into non-league football with Gainsborough Trinity and Alfreton Town. The dynamic midfielder played a key role in the Alfreton side which claimed the Blue Square Bet North title in 2010-2011. He signed new deals with the Pilgrims in 2012 and 2013.
