Defender Richie Sutton, who scooped player of the year awards at the end of last season and was part of the Conference Championship winning side, has turned down a new contract offer to stay at One Call Stadium.

The 29-year-old made over 130 appearances for the Stags in four seasons.

Manager Adam Murray told www.mansfieldtown.net: “Ritchie has been a great servant to the club and we wish him well for the future.”
