Forward Quinn signs for Mansfield

The Stags sign forward Ben Quinn after his release from Celtic

Forward Ben Quinn has signed for League One side Mansfield Town on a one-year contract.

The 19-year-old made 31 appearances for Celtic's academy side last season, scoring 11 goals prior to the expiration of his contract.

The Stags say that the Irishman had impressed on trial in pre-season, scoring three goals in three games as part of manager Nigel Clough’s squad.

“Ben has done very well on trial in the last few weeks," Clough said.

"We feel that he has some potential and we don’t have anything like him in the squad which is why we’ve signed him and are pleased to welcome him to the club.”

Mansfield Town get their League One season under way when they play Barnsley on 9 August.
