The Stags’ first experience of the transfer window was in 2006 when clubs at the lower end of the EFL had to abide by the date restrictions for the first time, while they also had a break from it whilst a National League club where transfer windows don’t apply.
Overall, Mansfield made 47 signings in the winter window up to the end of January 2025, and here we list all of them and where their careers took them after that move, including some real fans’ favourites over the years.
