Mansfield Town goalkeeper Liam Roberts has signed a new two-year contract with the club. The 31-year-old shot-stopper has become a fan favourite and a reliable figure within the squad.
What happened?
Liam Roberts has signed a new two-year contract with Mansfield Town, extending his stay with the club. The deal will see him remain at the One Call Stadium until June 2028.
Why it matters for Mansfield
Roberts' new contract is a reward for his brilliant season, where he kept 14 clean sheets in all competitions and picked up numerous Player of the Season awards. He has become a firm favourite among the Stags' fans and a great number one goalkeeper.
What comes next?
The Stags are looking to build on their recent form, which has seen them win three of their last five games. With Roberts committed to the club for the next two years, they will be hoping to challenge for a promotion spot in League One.
Mansfield Town are currently 10th in League One, 65 points from 46 games, with a recent form of 3W-2D-0L. They are 38 points behind leaders Lincoln and have scored 62 goals this season, conceding 50.
The Stags' last result was a 5-4 win over Cardiff on May 2, 2026. They are on a two-game winning run and will be looking to continue their momentum in the new season.
Roberts was delighted to sign a new contract, saying: "I'm over the moon, I absolutely love it here and am delighted to sign a new contract ahead of the league season." He added: "I'm grateful to the gaffer, the coaching staff and the boys for a good last year and along with the rest of the boys I have a real motivation and determination to do even better this season."
Manager Nigel Clough said: "Liam signing a new contract is a reward for a brilliant season and we wanted to secure him for a little while longer. Liam's established himself as a firm favourite and a great number one goalkeeper."
The Stags hosted a meet and greet with Roberts on Thursday at the stadium club shop prior to his new contract announcement, where he met fans and signed autographs.
