Niall Canavan is a big, strong central defender, who signed professional terms with the Iron during the summer of 2009.
Featuring regularly in pre-season, the centre-back, who used to be youth team captain, is tipped to have a big future in the game.
Strong in either box, the player will develop this season and it is hope that he will establish himself in the team over the coming years.
He signed a new three year deal in the summer of 2010 after impressing when called upon for the first team.
He also went out on loan to League Two side Shrewsbury towards the end of the 2010-11 season, appearing three times.
