Adam Murray: Mansfield Town manager set to sign new contract

Mansfield Town manager Adam Murray has made 202 appearances for the Stags as a player in three separate spells with the club

Mansfield Town manager Adam Murray has said he expects to sign a new contract with the League Two club.

Murray, 33, became the youngest boss in the Football League when he was appointed player-manager in December.

The Stags are currently 21st in the league, with six losses in their last seven games, but safe from relegation.

"I've had a couple of chats with the chairman and hopefully it'll be sorted out within the next few days," Murray told BBC Radio Nottingham.

"I'm hoping it'll get done as soon as possible so everybody can put closure on it and we know where we're going."

Murray has also made 16 appearances for the club as a player this season.
