Young Fox moves to Mansfield

Leicester defender Alan Sheehan has joined League Two outfit Mansfield on a month's loan.

The 19-year-old has made five appearances for the Foxes, but has so far been unable to break into manager Rob Kelly's squad this season.

The Stags need cover for their injured left-back Gareth Jelleyman and Irishman Sheehan fits the bill.

Foxes boss Kelly told the club's official website: "The move will give Alan a great opportunity to get some match experience under his belt and that is something that will only help to further his development as a player.

"We will obviously keep a close eye on his progress while he is away."
