Australia international Keanu Baccus has joined Mansfield after leaving St Mirren under freedom of contract.

The 25-year-old helped the Paisley side secure back-to-back top-six finishes in his two seasons with the Premiership club.

After making 72 appearances for the Buddies following his arrival from Western Sydney Wanderers in the summer of 2022, the midfielder – who represented the Socceroos at the last World Cup in Qatar – decided his future lay elsewhere.

Baccus has agreed a two-year deal with newly-promoted League One side Mansfield.

“We’re absolutely thrilled that Keanu has agreed to join us,” said Stags boss Nigel Clough.

“He had plenty of suitors, in League One especially, when it was known that he wanted to play in England and we’ve managed to persuade him to come and join us.

“He has much potential, is at a good age and we think he plays in the manner which we like, on the front foot and he’s good at winning the ball back.”
