Luke Foster

Stags clinch Foster signature

Blue Square Premier side Mansfield Town have confirmed the capture of defender Luke Foster from promotion-chasing Oxford United for an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old has signed an 18 month deal at Field Mill and reportedly turned down offers from two other Blue Square Premier clubs.

Stags boss David Holdsworth told his club's official website: "I am delighted Luke has decided to join us and I am very pleased with the capture of this very strong centre half.

"He (Luke) has come here for the right reasons and sees us as potential promotion candidates.

"We have a great heartbeat here, directed from the Chairman, and we play in front of some wonderful supporters - these factors have attracted Luke to us."
