Mansfield Town recently observed a free agent at Salford City.
Liam Loughlan is being evaluated by Mansfield Town, according to their official club social media account.
In preparation for a prospective transfer, Mansfield Town is keeping an eye on the midfielder.
Loughlan, 21, last competed for Salford City, a League Two rival, although he severed connections with the North West team last year.
He was included in the starting lineup for the Stags’ Central League Cup match against Notts County on Wednesday (see tweet below). Additionally, first-team players Baily Cargill and John-Joe O’Toole saw some playing time.
Mansfield eyeing free agent
Mansfield could see Loughlan as someone to add more competition and depth to their squad ahead of the rest of the season. He also has time on his side and has the potential to grow and develop in the future.
He started his career at Leicester City and rose up through the academy ranks of his local team. The youngster was a regular for the Foxes at various youth levels but never made a senior appearance during his time on the books at the King Power Stadium.
Loughlan was released in 2020 and was subsequently snapped up by Salford on a free transfer. He initially linked up with the Ammies’ B team before going on to make eight appearances for their first-team, as well as having a loan spell away from the Peninsula Stadium in non-league at Farsley Celtic.
He has been considering his next move in the game since being released from Neil Wood’s team a little more than a year ago. He now has the opportunity to demonstrate his abilities, and Mansfield will decide in the following weeks whether to provide an offer to him.
