Mitchell joins Stags

Last updated : 28 September 2012 By Jacob Daniel

Notts County's young goalkeeper Liam Mitchell has joined Blue Square Premier side Mansfield Town on a short term loan deal after an injury to the Stags' number one Alan Marriott left them with a goalkeeping crisis. Mitchell, who has been battling with fellow youth team graduate Fabian Speiss for a place on the bench at Meadow Lane, has previously spent time on loan at non-league sides Tamworth and Lewes and will be hoping that a spell at Field Mill increases his chances of securing a place in Keith Curle's plans.
