The National League is a demanding competition where every point matters.
Clubs are constantly fighting to stay out of the bottom spots and to keep their promotion dreams alive.
Boston have already felt the heat, taking only one point from their last three matches.
Injuries have made things worse.
Several key players are out, and that has forced changes every week.
It is hard to build rhythm when the team keeps changing.
Supporters know how difficult this league can be.
It is full of seasoned teams with physical styles and long away trips.
Every match feels like a test of character.
The club needed fresh energy.
Someone who can step in right away, lift the mood, and give the side a stronger shape.
A player with the confidence to handle a busy fixture list and the know-how to compete at this level.
That help has now arrived.
Boston United have officially signed 22-year-old left-sided defender Matty Carson after his exit from League Two side Grimsby Town.
Carson came through Liverpool’s academy before turning professional with Burnley.
He also gained valuable first-team experience with Radcliffe and Alfreton Town, and made his senior debut in the Vertu Trophy for Accrington Stanley in October 2021.
His career has already taken him through several competitive leagues.
He played 10 games in League One for Reading between August and November 2023 and made 13 appearances for Grimsby Town before leaving Blundell Park by mutual consent earlier this week.
Carson joins a Boston team hit hard by injuries and is registered and eligible to make his debut against Southend United on Saturday.
He has been given squad number 15, a sign that he is expected to be involved immediately.
Grimsby boss David Artell once praised Carson’s “unbelievable attributes, especially in an attacking sense.”
Those words highlight what Boston hope to see, defensive security combined with forward drive.
For Liverpool supporters, there is pride in seeing another academy graduate continue to build a senior career.
Carson’s journey from Kirkby’s youth pitches to Boston’s Jakemans Community Stadium shows the lasting influence of his Liverpool education.
His arrival offers Boston United not just depth, but a player shaped by a winning football culture.
