He made a further five league and two cup appearances during the 2015–16 season, and recorded two assists against former club Crawley Town in a 2–0 victory in August.[7] His final appearance of the season came on 17 October, with Anderson coming off the bench in a 1–1 draw with Port Vale.[8]

Lincoln City (loan)
