Mansfield Town are discussing new deals with defender James Perch, midfielder Stephen Quinn and striker Jordan Bowery.

Bowery, 30, along with 36-year-old duo Perch and Quinn, featured in the 3-0 play-off final defeat by Port Vale.

However, the League Two club have transfer-listed striker Danny Johnson, with three other players released.

Centre-back Farrend Rawson is leaving Field Mill, along with goalkeeper Marek Stech and striker Josh Scott.

The club have also taken up contract options on five players - Ollie Clarke, Jason Law, George Maris, Stephen McLaughlin and Kieran Wallace.

Rotherham United striker Freddie Ladapo has signed for Ipswich Town on a three-year contract.

The 29-year-old will complete the move to Portman Road when his contract with The Millers expires next month.

Ladapo scored 15 goals in 41 games in 2021-22 to help Rotherham win promotion to the Championship.

"The chance to come and play for this club, with the history and fanbase it has, is brilliant for me. I am buzzing," he told the Ipswich website.

"The manager has plans and goals here, and this feels like the perfect fit for me."

Ladapo made his Football League debut in the East region for Colchester United and also played for Southend and Plymouth before joining Rotherham in the summer of 2019.

"He is a proven goalscorer at this level but beyond that he brings qualities to the side that we think will be important for us," said Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna.

"Freddie has a good physical stature, the ability to run beyond the defence, and is good in one-on-one situations.

"He's a signing that we think can be really important for us."

Midfielder Aidan Barlow has signed a new one-year deal with Doncaster Rovers with the option of a further 12 months.

The 22-year-old scored once in 34 games for Rovers last season, following a July move to South Yorkshire.

Barlow began his career with Manchester United, and trialled with Stoke City in addition to a spell in Norway with Eliteserien side Tromso.

"It was a big learning curve as my first year in professional football," Barlow told the club website.

"While we hoped for more as a team, I felt like I was developing constantly and picking up things to improve in my game."

Salford City defender Theo Vassell has signed a new two-year deal.

The 25-year-old made 27 appearances for the League Two Ammies in 2021-22 after joining on a free transfer last summer after leaving Wrexham.

"I wanted to stay at a club where I felt settled," Vassell told the club website.

"Obviously I feel there is a lot more to come for myself and the club, we want to go places and I want to be a part of that."

Vassell follows captain Ash Eastham in agreeing new terms at the Peninsula Stadium.

Harrogate have signed York City goalkeeper Peter Jameson.

The 29-year-old helped the Minstermen win promotion back to the National League last season, keeping 19 clean sheets in 56 appearances in all competitions.

The League Two side have not disclosed the length of deal he has signed.

"We've been tracking Pete for some time at York and he's a really good all round keeper and looks the part," boss Simon Weaver told the club website.

In the past we have signed Marcus Stewart, Marcus Browning, Junior Mendes, Donal McDermott, Anton Robinson and Danny Williams, all from teams we had beaten in the Play Offs.

Who do we fancy signing this time?

Grimsby Town secured another dramatic extra-time win to shatter Wrexham's dreams of National League promotion.

Paul Mullin's penalty gave Wrexham the lead but John McAtee levelled, with Luke Waterfall putting Grimsby ahead.

Ben Tozer and Mullin made it 3-2 and although Ryan Taylor and Mani Dieseruvwe restored Grimsby's advantage, Jordan Davies equalised.

Waterfall scored a 119th-winner for Grimsby, who had beaten Notts County in extra-time in the play-off eliminator.

Grimsby will now face Solihull Moors or Chesterfield in the final at West Ham's London Stadium on Sunday, 5 June.

The Mariners are now 90 minutes away from a swift return to League Two, while Wrexham's absence from the EFL will now extend to a 15th season.

Wrexham boss Parkinson slams 'poor' refereeing
Wrexham went into the game on the back of two defeats - being beaten at Dagenham and Redbridge on the final day of the regular National League season as they lost out to Stockport County for the title, and then losing the FA Trophy final to Bromley.

Manager Phil Parkinson wanted his players to use their Wembley disappointment to inspire them against a Grimsby side buoyed by a dramatic comeback in the eliminator at Notts County, in which Dieseruvwe's goal deep in extra time secured victory.

Mariners boss Paul Hurst said his side arrived at the Racecourse as underdogs, with Wrexham having finished the regular season 11 points ahead of them and losing only once at the Racecourse during the campaign.

Grimsby made the better start and had the ball in the back of the net after four minutes through McAtee's strike but the goal was ruled out for offside, while another attack led to a corner from which Ryan Taylor headed over the crossbar.

Within a minute the home side's first meaningful attack resulted in a penalty after Mullin was brought down by former Dragons defender Waterfall.

Wrexham's top scorer - who hit 26 league goals during the regular campaign - blasted his kick info the roof of the net past Max Crocombe.

But amid home fans' celebrations, Grimsby responded immediately as out of nowhere McAtee's stunning 25-yard shot levelled the scores.

There was no let-up in the game as a shot from Dragons full-back Bryce Hosannah was turned away by Crocombe, while Mullin had a goal disallowed during a good spell for the home side.

Crocombe also made a fine save when the ball deflected off the head of his own defender, Andy Smith, while Wrexham appeals for another penalty for a foul on Hosannah fell on deaf ears.

Grimsby came out at the start of the second half in a similar vein to how they had begun the game, as McAtee forced Christian Dibble into saving with his legs before the keeper had to be at full stretch to deny Harry Clifton.

The visitors continued to press and a cross from the right was met by Waterfall at the far post for his eighth goal of the season.

Hurst's men had looked far more composed than their hosts and the more likely to score with chances for Clifton, Ben Fox and Danny Amos.

The game was to turn on its head with two goals in a space of a minute which saw Wrexham regain the lead.

From Luke Young's corner, Tozer headed home at the far post to bring the home side level and two minutes later Mullin netted following Ollie Palmer's flick-on.

Just at it seemed Wrexham were on top, Grimsby once again hit back with Taylor's diving header making it 3-3, before substitute semi-final hero Dieseruvwe's header put them in front.

But another twist in the tale saw Davies head home Young's corner for the home side and despite chances for Palmer and Callum McFadzean, the game went into extra time.

Both teams toiled during a tense extra time, which saw Grimsby substitute Tristan Abrahams firing into the side netting before Waterfall's header from Jordan Cropper's throw-in won it for Hurst's men.

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said:

"Myself and the staff and the players are hurting because we've conceded goals we shouldn't have conceded.

"It was always going to be a battle in terms of Waterfall and the set plays, we know how strong he is. That cost us today.

"I felt we'd we'd win today and I felt few things have gone against us to stop that."

Preston North End will kick off the 2022/23 pre-season schedule with a trip to Bamber Bridge on Saturday 2nd July.
