Mansfield Town sell Danny Rose to Northampton Town

The 26-year-old, whose contract at the Stags was set to expire next June, leaves One Call Stadium after a four-year spell.

The move is for an undisclosed fee in a move which includes prospective incentives for Mansfield.

In a joint statement, chairman and co-chairwoman John & Carolyn Radford said: ”Danny has served Mansfield Town Football Club admirably in the last four seasons and has been a real credit to himself and his family, on and off the field.

“In the current climate, it is uncommon for a player to be given the chance to move to a club in a higher division and it would have been incorrect of us to impede Danny’s opportunity of playing at a higher level.

“The transfer is good business for Mansfield Town Football Club, both now and futuristically.

“Danny leaves the club in high regard and we wish him and his family well.”
