Mansfield Town sign defender Frazer Blake-Tracy

Mansfield Town have announced the signing of defender Frazer Blake-Tracy on a two-year contract.

Blake-Tracy, 28, joins the Stags after two years at Swindon Town, where he earned the Player of the Season award in his first term and made 41 appearances in the 2023-24 season. The versatile defender can operate as a left-sided full-back or centre-back.

Frazer Blake-Tracy began his football career in non-league with Dereham Town before moving to Lowestoft Town and King’s Lynn.

In July 2019, he joined Peterborough United, making 24 starts for the League One club.

After a spell at Burton and a loan to Swindon, he made a permanent switch to the Robins in January 2023.

Manager Nigel Clough expressed his enthusiasm for the new signing, stating, “Frazer is someone who we’ve watched extensively in the last 12 months. He’s a left-sided defender who we feel has been one of the best players in League Two over that period.”

Clough added, “We were looking for a left-sided player and he fits the bill. He’s a good footballer who can defend as well.”

Blake-Tracy shared his excitement about joining Mansfield Town. “I’m delighted to be here. I’ve been in dialogue with the manager for a few weeks now and it’s clear that this is a club that is moving in a very good direction,” he said.

He continued, “I played against Mansfield a couple of times last season and they were probably the best side we faced. I’ve heard rave reviews from everyone I’ve spoken to about the club. It’s definitely on the up.”
