Stags sign keeper

MANSFIELD Town strengthened their squad late on Monday when ex-England youth international keeper David Knight signed for the Stags.
The former Swansea reserve stopper (21) went straight into the squad for Monday's TV defeat at Burton Albion - but was named only on the bench.
However, boss Billy McEwan told Chad after the 1-0 reverse: "He has come in for us to have a look at him.
"We only had a young keeper on our bench who had a bit of an injury so we have brought David in and it's up to him. If he does okay we will keep him here."
The keeper was a member of Middlesborough's 2004 FA Youth cup winning side.
He has also had League experience with loans at Hartlepool, Darlington and Oldham, before going to Swansea.
Knight will be competition for Nottingham Forest keeper Paddy Gamble, whose loan spell at Field Mill since the start of the season has been dogged by inconsistency but who did well in the defeat at Burton.
