Murray had been in his third spell with the club and an SSA statement today said: “The SSA committee would like to place on record our sincere thanks to club legend Adam Murray for everything he has achieved for Mansfield Town FC during his lengthy spells at our club.

“Adam has provided some fantastic memories as a player, most famously fighting tooth and nail as proud captain of our Championship winning side to lift the trophy that delivered back our cherished Football League place.

“As the Stags manager memorable highlights included saving us from the drop zone in his first season in charge and his 100 per cent win record over three games in League competition against local rivals Notts County, especially the 5-0 demolition derby last season.

“SSA would like to wish Adam all the very best in his future career.”
