MANSFIELD TOWN have signed the younger brother of Newcastle United striker Shola Ameobi on a month's loan.

Tomi Ameobi joins from Doncaster Rovers and the Stags will have the option to extend his loan stay, should they wish.

The 20-year-old forward has had spells with Leeds, Scunthorpe and Grimsby but has only featured a handful of times for these clubs.

Stags boss David Holdsworth told the club's website: "He is a young man from Doncaster Rovers and someone of good character who is very well thought of by the people at Doncaster.

"He brings another element to the squad and also a lot of qualities which I like. I am hoping that he will be a good addition to our squad.

"His brother is very well-known, a bit like mine really! He is eager to impress and to get his career started."


Stags sign Premiership star's striker brother on loan

THE brother of Premiership star Shola Ameobi, Tomi Ameobi, has joined Mansfield Town on loan.
He has joined the Stags on a one-month deal, with an option to extend his stay at Field Mill, and is the sixth new face at the Mill as a permanent/loan signing . . . together with seven triallists.

The striker has come from Doncaster Rovers, whom he joined from Leeds United in the summer, and has made one first team appearance for Rovers as a substitute.

The 20-year-old 'powerful striker' has previously been on loan at Scunthorpe and Grimsby and follows new strikers Rob Duffy and Rob Briscoe into Field Mill.

He told the club's website mansfieldtown.net in a video interview: "I am looking forward to getting out on the pitch. I have a bit of quality on the ball, hopefully that will show on Saturday.

"Being at Scunthorpe taught me a lot . . . the training facilities (at Mansfield) are great and I can't wait to get stuck in.

"I am ready for it. I hope the supporters get behind the team, we need all the support we can get."

Stags manager David Holdsworth - saying that he did not expect anymore new faces ahead of Saturday's match after a very busy week at the club - told the club's official website mansfieldtown.net: "His brother is very well known, a bit like mine really.

"He brings another element to the squad and a lot of qualities which I like.

"He is eager to impress and get his career started. He is at a successful club and is paying for the success that that team has had.

"They (Doncaster) have a very good squad and have to bring in players that go to that level.

"Tomi is a player I have been studying for a while."

Doncaster manager Sean O'Driscoll has labelled the striker 'one for the future'.

In another development on Thursday afternoon, former loan player Emile Sinclair - who was recalled to the City Ground earlier this month - has gone on loan to Macclesfield in League Two.
