Mansfield Town's Liam Marsden joins Brackley Town on loan

Defender Liam Marsden has joined National League North side Brackley Town on a month's loan from Mansfield Town.

The full-back has found first-team opportunities limited this season at One Call Stadium and has linked up with the Northamptonshire side until March 1 in the search for regular first team football.

Marsden has made one appearance for the Stags this season in the 2-1 defeat to Notts County in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy in September last year.

The 21-year-old previously spent time on loan at AFC Guiseley this season.

Meanwhile, 18-year-old striker Dan Fletcher has been released from One Call Stadium.
