Mansfield Town boss Nigel Clough says it is no coincidence he has raided Nottingham Forest's academy in search of League ...

Mansfield Town will be delighted to see Rhys Oates back on the goals trail after his lengthy injury lay-off with a brace in tonight's 3-1 pre-season friendly win at Sligo Rovers in Ireland.

Four new faces were in their starting 11 from matchday 19 to 20, with Baily Cargill, Callum Johnson, Ollie Clarke and George Maris replacing Calum Macdonald, Reed, Lewis and Stephen Quinn.

Mansfield enjoyed an excellent start to life in League One before fading into a relegation battle. Stags are currently five points above the danger zone with three games to go.
