The striker, who netted 14 times in 33 appearances for the Stags last season, has been out of contract since June 30.

The 33-year-old former West Ham and Bristol City forward is currently re-evaluating his future, but manager Graham Coughlan says the offer to remain with Town is still on the table.

"Nicky's contract was up at the end of the season. I spoke to him from the day I've come in about keeping him at the club," Coughlan said.

"But his contract ended on June 30. It ran out and we'd offered Nicky a deal pre-pandemic.

"Nicky wanted to speak to one or two others, re-evaluate and see what was out there.

"We continued to speak to Nicky all the way along and there is still an offer if Nicky wants to stay on board.

"We'd love to have him. If I could I'd take Nicky Maynard all day long as he's a goalscorer."
