One to watch
Striker, Jordan Bowery
After signing for The Stags last summer, Bowery has made his impression on Nigel Clough’s side and is their top goalscorer this campaign.
The 29 year old started his career with Chesterfield and scored ten times for the Spireites in just over 80 appearances.
A big move to Aston Villa came his way in 2012 however he only managed 19 outings in two years at Villa Park. Further moves to Rotherham, Oxford and Leyton Orient were short-lived before moving to Crewe.
A regular starting place in the Alex line up benefitted Bowery and saw a return of 20 goals in 89 appearances at Gresty Road. The forward rejected a new contract at Crewe, instead opting to join MK Dons.
Appearances were hard to come by during the 2019-20 season and Mansfield snapped up the forward at the end of that season.
So far he has netted 10 goals in all competitions for The Stags and will be a threat that Rovers will need to nullify at Prenton Park on Saturday
