Riley Harbottle: Mansfield Town sign Nottingham Forest Under-23 skipper on season-long loan

Riley Harbottle played against Bradford City and Wolves in last season's Carabao Cup

Mansfield Town have signed Nottingham Forest defender Riley Harbottle on a season-long loan.

The 21-year-old is Mansfield's fifth summer signing, and the second from Forest, following striker Will Swan.

Harbottle captained Forest's Under-23 team last season, but played two Carabao Cup games for the senior side.

"Riley had a few other options in League Two so we're delighted he's chosen to be with us," Stags manager Nigel Clough said.

"He has some experience in the Conference with Wealdstone in 2021, so this will be his first loan experience in the Football League."
