We extend our best wishes to Jason Law, who has signed for Vanarama National League North outfit Scunthorpe United. Thank you for your endeavours in the past seven-and-a-half years, Lawsy. ---------------------------- Jason Law leaves Mansfield Town to join Scunthorpe United after seven and a half years’ service chad.co.uk, By John Lomas, 7 June 2023 Mansfield Town utility player Jason Law has moved on to pastures new after seven and a half years with the Stags after today joining Scunthorpe United on a two year deal. The 24-year-old, who has played in defence midfield and up front over his Stags career, has failed to nail down a regular start and boss Nigel Clough had told him that, at his age, he really needed regular first team football and he would be unable to offer that next season. Law said: “I'm delighted to be here and I'm looking forward to getting going. “I spoke to the gaffer the other day and I've seen all of the other lads that have signed, so I'm really looking forward to coming in for this season. https://www.chad.co.uk/sport/football/jason-law-leaves-mansfield-town-to-join-scunthorpe-united-after-seven-and-a-half-years-service-4173257 “I've had a good eight years with Mansfield and came through when I was 16. I've really enjoyed my time there, but I'm looking forward to this challenge as well. I think it should be a successful season. “I'm an attacking midfielder, I can also play on the wing. I'm pretty versatile, left-footed, good on the ball and I like to get on the ball and make things happen. “I've had a few loan spells, including in this league, so I know quite a bit about it. It's a tough league, but it's definitely one with the right group of players and the gaffer, there's a chance to be really successful and have a big year.”A former Academy player at both Burton Albion and Derby County, Law joined Mansfield from Carlton Town in December 2015, having scored four goals in three first team games for the Millers.He appeared on the Mansfield first-team bench later in the 2015/16 season in their 1-0 defeat to Leyton Orient, just four days after his 17th birthday.Since then he has been sent out on loan spells at Sutton Coldfield Town, Gresley, Hednesford Town, Leek Town and Kettering Town.For Stags he made 13 league starts and another 30 off the bench, scoring once, and overall made another eight starts plus three sub in cup competitions.He appeared 24 times over the past season.Law’s new challenge now is to help former Championship club Scunthorpe United regain their EFL status after two relegations in as many seasons has seen the Iron drop into National League North for the forthcoming campaign. He is their eighth summer signing so far.

The 24-year-old leaves the Stags, where he’s been for the past eight seasons, after joining the club’s academy from Carlton Town midway through the 2015-16 campaign. https://www.scunthorpe-united.co.uk/news/2023/june/jason-law-becomes-irons-eighth-summer-recruit/ Law appeared regularly for the Under-18s as the side won the league and he was rewarded with an appearance on the bench in that season in their 1-0 defeat to Leyton Orient, just four days after his 17th birthday. The Stags would retain their Youth Alliance titles in 2016-17 and 2017-18, with Law a regular in the team across his scholarship years. He would also have work experience loans at Sutton Coldfield Town, Gresley and Hednesford Town during those years. His performances would see him promoted to the first team squad in the 2018-19 season, ironically making his debut for Mansfield against the Iron in the Checkatrade Trophy in November 2018. The midfielder signed on professional terms in 2019, making one appearance for the side in 2019-20 in a 1-1 draw with Everton Under-21s in the EFL Trophy. There would also be further loans to Leek Town and Kettering Town. His first appearance of 2020-21 would again be against the Iron in the same competition, this time at Glanford Park, with his first professional goal amongst 18 appearances coming in March 2021 in a 2-2 draw against Grimsby Town. Last season, he would feature 24 times in total for the Stags in all competitions, making a total of 54 appearances for the side across his time there. Speaking after joining the club, he said: "I'm delighted to be here and I'm looking forward to getting going. I spoke to the gaffer the other day and I've seen all of the other lads that have signed, so I'm really looking forward to coming in for this season. "I've had a good eight years with Mansfield and came through when I was 16. I've really enjoyed my time there, but I'm looking forward to this challenge as well. I think it should be a successful season. "I'm an attacking midfielder, I can also play on the wing. I'm pretty versatile, left-footed, good on the ball and I like to get on the ball and make things happen. "I've had a few loan spells, including in this league, so I know quite a bit about it. It's a tough league, but it's definitely one with the right group of players and the gaffer, there's a chance to be really successful and have a big year. ------------------------ Stags boss Nigel Clough had earlier told iFollow Stags, Mon 5 June 2023 “It's a bit different with Jason Law and Kieran Wallace as they really need to get out and play regular football. The ball is in their court. “It is purely the best thing for them, Jason especially at his age. “If they don't get sorted we've told them come back and we will see. I don't think it would do either of them any good being with us next season. We have left it open and not offered them anything. I think they are both good enough to get something somewhere.” read more at https://www.chad.co.uk/sport/football/mansfield-town-closing-in-on-last-two-transfer-targets-4170288 -------------------------- |
