Mansfield casting eyes over free agent

Freeman has had two loan spell at Mansfield in the past so already knows the club and their fans also know what he is all about. If Nigel Clough does decide to offer him a deal, he would inject useful experience into the squad as he has made 268 appearances in his career to date.

 

He started out with spells at Nottingham Forest and Derby County before joining Sheffield United in 2015. The full-back helped the Blades rise from League One to the Premier League during his time at Bramall Lane under their former boss Chris Wilder.

 

The once-capped Wales international left South Yorkshire in 2020 and has since had stints at Swindon Town, Swansea City and Pompey and hasn’t been able to find a new permanent home

Mansfield will need to decide what to do with him soon as they gear up for the 2023/24 campaign. Promotion will be the target again for them after they narrowly missed out on the play-offs last term.

They have delved into the transfer market to sign George Williams, Baily Cargill, Aaron Lewis, Calum MacDonald, Christy Pym and Will Swan to bolster their ranks.
