Mansfield secure Oshilaja with new contract
Mansfield Town have moved to protect one of their most influential players after defender Deji Oshilaja signed a new contract, as reported by the Mansfield and Ashfield Chad.
Oshilaja was last season’s Player of the Year and has continued to be a cornerstone of Nigel Clough’s side this campaign. The new deal follows recent extensions for Rhys Oates, Baily Cargill and Louis Reed, underlining Mansfield’s desire for continuity rather than wholesale change.
Clough described Oshilaja as a “stalwart” and stressed the importance of retaining proven performers alongside any new additions. For a Mansfield side looking to remain competitive in League One, keeping hold of their defensive leader is a significant piece of business.
