Left-back Stephen McLaughlin has signed a new one-year deal with League One side Mansfield Town.
The 33-year-old former Nottingham Forest and Southend defender has made 149 appearances in his four seasons with the Stags.
He made 28 appearances in all competitions last season after missing the first three months of the campaign because of a knee injury sustained in April 2023.
He started in their promotion-clinching win against Accrington Stanley on 16 April and scored his only goal of the season as they beat Gillingham days later.
The Irish defender is the fourth promotion-winning player to commit his future to the club in the past two days, with midfielder George Maris and strikers Lucas Akins and Rhys Oates also signing one-year deals.
