Lynn's success hasn't gone unnoticed with League One side Lincoln reportedly looking at the former Norwich City player to replace the outgoing Danny Cowley who left the club for Huddersfield Town yesterday.

Culverhouse has been made second favourite for the job at 9/4 by Skybet behind Newport County manager Michael Flynn at 5/4, other potential candidates include Wycombe Wanderers manager Gareth Ainsworth, former Bolton manager Phil Parkinson and former Hull City manager Nigel Adkins.

A King's Lynn Town spokesman said the club had not yet been approached by the League One side.

He said: "It shows that we are doing well if we're being noticed at that level."

The news follows the Linnets 2-2 draw away to Spennymoor Town last weekend.

Lincoln currently sit 5th in League One following a 3-1 defeat away to Wycombe last Saturday.
