Mansfield Town forward James Gale has signed a new two-year deal with the League One club.

Th 22-year-old, who had a year option remaining on his previous contract with the Stags, has scored seven goals in 48 appearances since moving to the One Call Stadium from non-league side Long Eaton United in the summer of 2021.

His only league goal of the campaign came in April's 4-1 victory at MK Dons - which was a win that proved pivotal in securing the Stags' promotion from League Two.
