HARRIERS have added to their defensive number with the signing of Mansfield Town man George Cooper on loan.
George joins us on an initial one-month loan from the League 1 Stags and is immediately eligible for selection in this weekend’s Emirates FA Cup Second Round tie against Leek Town at Aggborough.
The 21-year-old central defender turned pro with Mansfield in 2021, and has plenty of National League North experience having spent two seasons on loan with Kettering Town.
He featured on more than 60 occasions for the Poppies across those spells, and added to that with several first team appearances at Mansfield in 2023-24.
“He’s been recommended to us very highly,” Phil Brown said of the player.
“We’ve watched him on a couple of occasions and he’ll be in the squad on Saturday, he’s been given permission to play in the FA Cup.
“He’s only a young lad but he’s had a couple of sniffs around [Mansfield’s] first teams and a he’s also couple of loans as well, so he has some experience as far as men’s football is concerned.”
Welcome to Aggborough, George!
