It was announced on Friday night that Lee Stevenson has followed former manager Paul Cox by signing for Mansfield Town.Stevenson scored 96 goals from midfield over the last 3 seasons for Eastwood Town, including 35 last season.
He had been attracting much interest and had spent a day at York City assessing the setup at the Yorkshire club, however location and the lure of working for former boss Cox was too much and the deal was clinched late Friday evening.
Interestingly, this story has not broke through any official channels yet, it was announced by the clubs CEO at an after season dinner but since then there appears to be total silence which is leading to wild speculation.
As Stevenson was under contract its likely a fee was involved, though the amount has not been disclosed as of yet. - EDIT: This transfer was confirmed the following day - See Here
Mansfield Town are also thought to be chasing another Eastwood player, Lindon Meikle is expected to sign for the Stags within the next few days.
