The 22-year-old moves to Field Mill for an undisclosed fee and will reunite with former boss Graham Coughlan. Mansfield have long been admirers of the Democratic Republic of Congo-born centre-back, failing to sign him on deadline day in January. It appeared Menayese's immediate future was at the Mem after he was handed a contract extension just last month. But since then Garner, who has rarely used the defender since becoming Gas boss in January, brought in experienced centre-halves Max Ehmer and Jack Baldwin, reducing Menayese's chances of playing time next season. He follows ex-Gas captain Ollie Clarke to Field Mill, with the skipper moving on a free transfer earlier this month to work with Coughlan again. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-rovers-sell-rollin-menayese-4371752 ------------------- Rollin @4Rollinmenayese New chapter!
