Transfer Window: John McCombe joins York after Mansfield exit

York City have signed defender John McCombe, 24 hours after he left League Two rivals Mansfield by mutual consent.

The 28-year-old, who joined the Stags from Port Vale last June, has agreed a contract until the summer of 2016.

"He's an experienced player at League Two level and captained Port Vale to promotion from the division last year," said York manager Nigel Worthington.

"We've worked hard over the last month or so to try and bring John in and we're absolutely thrilled he's signed."
