Ross left Colchester to join Lincoln on a one-year deal, having helped them reach the League Two play-offs under John McGreal.
The 6ft 5in keeper has most recently been at Altrincham, having joined them in October, 2023. Ross made 65 appearances for the Robins, keeping 19 clean sheets but suffered a serious knee injury in 2025, which kept him sidelined for an extended period.
