Mansfield Town signs Hibernian midfielder Nathan Moriah-Welsh

Mansfield Town has signed 23-year-old midfielder Nathan Moriah-Welsh from Hibernian on a two-year contract for an undisclosed fee. The Guyana international, who began his career with Bournemouth and spent time on loan at Newport County, made over 40 appearances for Hibs after joining them in January 2024 and helped the club qualify for the Europa League qualifying stages. Moriah-Welsh described Mansfield as the right club at the right time to further his career, praising conversations with manager Nigel Clough and his former Newport teammates now at Mansfield. Hibernian’s head coach and sporting director expressed their best wishes for his future, noting limited playing opportunities at Hibs due to squad depth. Mansfield have bolstered their squad with several other signings ahead of the new League One season, and Moriah-Welsh aims to continue improving as an energetic, tackling midfielder who contributes both defensively and offensively. His experience as captain of Guyana and his European competition exposure add valuable experience to Mansfield’s midfield.
