As Luton Town’s goalkeeper he suffered the agony of having to work on their early plastic pitch which saw several injuries including a badly broken leg.

That saw him drop down into non-League football, playing at the likes of Stamford, Spalding and Corby.

Pledger will be working with new Stags goalkeeping pair Bobby Olejnik and Conrad Logan as they battle it out for the No.1 shirt.
