Carlisle United will face Grimsby Town next season after they triumphed over Solihull Moors in the National League play-off final.
Paul Hurst’s side were 2-1 victors at the London Stadium, with Jordan Maguire-Drew netting the winner in the second half of extra time.
Kyle Hudlin had given Moors the lead before John McAtee drew the Mariners level.
And Maguire-Drew’s back post finish saw Grimsby bounce back to the EFL at the first time of asking having finished 24th in League Two last season.
TRANSFER RUMOURS: Carlisle United linked with double swoop
Hurst’s side had already overcome much-fancied duo Wrexham and Notts County in their play-off eliminators before the final.
Carlisle loanee Tristan Abrahams was introduced as a substitute in both those ties and was also in action from the bench in the final as he entered the fray in extra time.

Solihull - who beat Chesterfield in their play-off semi-final - brought on ex-Blue Mark Ellis with six minutes remaining.
But the defender couldn’t help his side turn the tide, meaning the Cumbrians will be heading to Blundell Park next season.
