The 20-year-old featured for the Seasiders on loan during the 2022/23 season, netting once with a late equaliser in a 2-2 draw at Warrington Town.

An impressive spell in a Town shirt saw Braithwaite make his EFL debut for his hometown club in April 2023, as he came off the bench at Blundell Park against Crewe Alexandra.

Braithwaite gained some further Pitching In Northern Premier League Premier Division experience earlier this season while on loan at Stafford Rangers.

The tenacious midfielder could be involved for the Blues at Gainsborough Trinity on Saturday afternoon.
