John McCombe to join Mansfield Town

John McCombe has revealed that he will join Mansfield Town when his contract with Port Vale comes to an end later this month.

The 28-year-old, who had his contract terminated by Port Vale, said that he turned down a host of offers before deciding to join the newly-promoted League Two side.

"Hopefully we can kick on from the players' achievements last season and have another good year," he told the club's official website.

"I've had quite a bit of interest this summer [from other clubs] but after speaking to [Stags manager] Paul Cox and the rest of the staff, it seems like this club is heading in the right direction. I'm a centre-half who gives 100% and I'll be giving everything now for Mansfield."

McCombe made 37 appearances for Port Vale last season.
