The 24-year-old becomes the Stags’ seventh new signing since the conclusion of the 2019-20 season and the second one on Tuesday following the signing of Rollin Menayese from Bristol Rovers.

Manager Graham Coughlan said: “George is a very technical player with lots of ability and a great work ethic.

“He will bring us creativity in the final third and very good delivery at set pieces.

“He will represent the badge with pride and I’m sure he will prove to be a very good addition to our squad.”

After developing through Barnsley’s youth system, Maris enjoyed loan spells at Nuneaton Town, Guiseley and Lincoln City before signing for United in June 2016.

In recent seasons, he became a significant component in United's midfield, making 150 appearances and scoring 22 goals.

Maris has signed a two-year contract at One Call Stadium.
