Dodds has joined the Imps on a temporary basis from Championship side Leicester but, after spending time at Northwich Victoria and League One outfit Rochdale last season, the 20-year-old would welcome the opportunity to sign on the dotted line at Sincil Bank.

"Lincoln play a lot less direct football than we used to at Rochdale," he told the club's official website.

"It's a lot better for me here because we try to play the ball around the midfield so I get more of the ball.

"I would love to sign for the club permanently if they wanted me. It's a good club with a nice set-up and we play the right kind of football.

"I have set myself the target of getting into double figures for goals and to play 30 games over the course of the season."
