Hawkins Moves to Mansfield
Monday, 21st Jun 2021 18:02

Striker Oli Hawkins has joined League Two Mansfield Town on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Hawkins, 29, moved to the Blues last summer after leaving Portsmouth and made 10 starts and 13 sub appearances, scoring once.

“Oli will add a real presence in both penalty areas, something which we missed last season, both defensively and offensively,” Stags boss Nigel Clough told his club's official website.

“He’s an unselfish player and his assists ratio is very good, but his presence in both penalty areas is the main reason why we’re signing him.

“He’s been playing in teams who have competed towards the top end of League One in the last few seasons and we’re excited to add him to our existing line-up of strikers.”

The frontman was among the players told he could find a new club by manager Paul Cook at the end of the season.

Elsewhere, ex-Blues winger Danny Rowe has signed a new one-year deal at Burton Albion having joined the Brewers on a short-term contract in February after leaving the Blues at the end of 2019/20.

Good luck to him. He did alright earlier in the season when Gwi was getting goals.
Interesting another to league 2.
I was one of the fools thinking our squad was top end league 1 (should go up)

It's definately interesting that a lot of our players from the season just gone are finding their level at league two.

Yeh happy to see him as one of the 90%'ers. Never seen anything from him. Doubt he'll end up being a Kiefer Moore and one of the big lads that got away...

Best of luck to him, but I have to say a very poor signing for us. Anyone know if we paid for him?

Looking forward to seeing players sign for us.

It seems very quiet at the minute.

Think Oli would have done ok at Town as a defender as that was were the ball was most of the time last season

Good luck to the guy but maybe betty and monkey blue can see the team they felt was too good for league one are now playing their trade in league two 🙄 First bit of great business from Ashton how he got a fee I'll never know!

Can see why Pompy let him go on a free... Nice guy, but not what we needed then or now

Serious question I've lost track of the squad now, anybody got a link to the current squad as it stands, just interested to see names and what the numbers are now

Oh well that is 17 out of the door now and just 2 in, I have been crossing them off the back of the last seasons program, Paul Cook has certainly downsized the squad to his manageable liking ?
