    He was recalled at the start of January and now drops two divisions to join Boston in their battle to avoid relegation from the National League.

    He scored seven goals in 32 appearances after joining the Sulphurites from Ilkeston Town in January 2025.

    Both Cursons and Rooney, who has featured 23 times for the Rams across all competitions, could make their debuts for the Lincolnshire side at Boreham Wood on Saturday.
