Magennis played in goal for Northern Ireland Under-17s

Grimsby have signed Cardiff striker Josh Magennis on a one-month loan.

The 19-year-old has played eight times for the Bluebirds this season and goes straight into the Mariners' squad to face Rochdale on Saturday.

The Northern Ireland Under-21 international was in action for his country against Iceland in a European Championship qualifier on Tuesday.

Magennis spent most of his youth playing career as a goalkeeper but switched to an outfield role in 2008.

He scored his first goal for Cardiff during their 3-1 Carling Cup win against Bristol Rovers in August.
