Stags make it 11 new signings

LEFT-sided winger Kyle Nix has agreed a two-year deal to become Mansfield Town's 11th signing of the close season.

Stags boss David Holdsworth entered double figures last week with the signing of striker Kyle Perry – and his squad continues to strengthen with this latest addition.

Nix, a former Manchester United trainee, has spent the past two years at Bradford City after previous spells with Sheffield United and Aston Villa.

Now 23, he has been on trial at Field Mill for the past three days, with Holdsworth beating off competition from League Two clubs to capture his signature.

Nix said: "Everyone here shares the same ambition and drive. I am determined to get back into the Football League with Mansfield."

Holdsworth said: "We are delighted to be able to attract another League player to our club. He is an attacking-minded midfield player who has a wonderful ability on the ball. Stuart McCall (Bradford manager) spoke extremely highly of Kyle."
