John Akinde has completed his move to Lincoln City while Alex Nicholls has also left Barnet.

Talismanic striker Akinde, who is the Bees record scorer in the Football League, was made available for transfer following the club’s relegation to the National League.

Barnet confirmed last Friday they had accepted an offer for the forward, who joined from Alfreton Town in 2014, and his return to the EFL for an undisclosed fee has been completed after personal terms were agreed.

Former teammate Nicholls’ departure is by mutual consent.

Arriving at the Hive in the summer of 2016, the striker made a total of 47 appearances, with his best run of form coming at the end of last season when he scored seven goals in the final 16 games as the Bees narrowly failed to avoid relegation.
