VIDEO: Nathan Thomas explains why he wanted to sign for Mansfield Town

The pacey young winger Nathan Thomas signed on a free transfer from Scottish Premiership outfit Motherwell on Monday night.

The 20-year-old, who hails from North Yorkshire, made two appearances for ex-Stag Ian Baraclough’s team in 2014/15 after joining them on a free transfer midway through the season.

A graduate of Sunderland’s youth set-up, Thomas spent time at Darlington 1883 in the early days of his career, before penning a move to Plymouth Argyle – for whom he turned out on 24 occasions.

While at the Pilgrims, he scored his only senior goal against Hartlepool United in a 2-0 victory last term.
