The trio have all been loaned out for six months, but the Stags have retained the option to recall them.

"It's important that these young lads get development and that they get games because they are not ready for the first team yet. It is part of their learning curve," said Stags' manager David Holdsworth.

"Niall has done terrifically well since coming in and he can improve and hopefully he will.

"We don't have a reserve team, so we have to make sure he gets minutes on the pitch.

"At Frickley he will learn that it's not all about glamour, that football can be hard and gruesome.

"Conor knows Glapwell and hopefully he will improve again and he will not be far from home with them playing matches here.

"I have been very pleased with Ben Turner and time at North Ferriby will continue to help him progress.

"The three come under our budget and the teams that they are going out to are paying their wages, so we don't lose anything and we need to balance the books."
