Be sure to keep an eye out for ‘Stags Talk’ every week as Stephen and Georgia discuss the latest news, results and topics surrounding Mansfield Town.
It’s been another whirlwind season for Mansfield Town and there’s been plenty to unpack over the last nine months.
Stags kicked the 2025/26 campaign off after signing the likes of Regan Hendry, the returning Ryan Sweeney, and Player of the Season Liam Roberts. Their League One run kept fans on the edge of their seats as Nigel Clough’s side went from fighting to avoid relegation, to recording their highest finish in the football pyramid since 1987.
Stags powered past last season's point tally and finished the campaign with 65 on the board, taking them to tenth in the table after a thrilling 5-4 win over promoted side Cardiff City on the final day.
Since then, Mansfield Town have confirmed their released and retained players list, while also agreeing contract extensions with key senior players. Lucas Akins, Jordan Bowery, Elliott Hewitt, George Maris, Stephen McLaughlin and Tyler Roberts have all penned new deals with the Stags. The club has also confirmed the full-time signing of Jon Russell, following his impactful loan spell during the second half of the season.
Clough has mentioned on more than one occasion that Mansfield Town are pleased with the core transfers they made over the last 12 months and they will not need to make a raft of new signings this summer. However, Stags will be looking to strengthen their attacking line, meaning there will still be plenty to keep an eye on once the transfer window opens.
As well as an historic League One finish, Mansfield Town enjoyed a superb run in the FA Cup. After beating Sheffield United and Burnley, Stags hosted Arsenal at the One Call Stadium in a milestone occasion for the club.
