The 35-year-old enjoyed two excellent years at Hillsborough after coming on board to help in their promotion push, and played a huge role in their successful climb out of League One - however he found game time hard to come by under Danny Röhl and recently announced that he would be moving on.
Now it’s been confirmed that he’s penned a one-year deal with The Stags for when his Owls deal officially comes to an end, and he says that he’s looking forward to his new challenge.

“It’s a club on the up,” he told the club’s official website. “It’s a perfect fit for me, with location factored in too, as well as hearing about the manager and how well he treats his players. I’m an aggressive forward who likes to get the ball in the box and score goals. Every game is tough in this league and it’ll be about being consistent week-in week out in order for us to do well.”
