Stephen McLaughlin has signed a new one-year contract at Mansfield Town.
The Irishman, who turns 35 next month, has made 196 appearances for the Stags since initially joining on a short-term deal in September 2020, predominantly playing at left-back and left midfield.
The former Southend United and Nottingham Forest man made 47 appearances this season, 41 of them coming in League One, and scored in the 3-0 win over Exeter City on the final day of the season.
He joins Jordan Bowery in penning a new deal at the One Call Stadium and follows the signing of Tranmere Rovers midfielder Regan Hendry and the re-signing of former captain Ryan Sweeney.
Mansfield finished 17th in League One this season, eight points clear of the relegation zone.
