Mansfield have signed Stoke defender Ryan Sweeney on a season-long loan.

The 21-year-old joined Stoke from AFC Wimbledon in 2016.

He made 39 appearances for Bristol Rovers during two loan spells between January 2017 and June 2018 and has represented the Republic of Ireland at Under-19 and Under-21 levels.

He said: "The (Mansfield) gaffer (David Flitcroft) is trying to get us to play attractive football. He's made some good signings this summer."
