Mansfield Town retained the registration of forward Lucas Akins and confirmed he has rejoined the first-team squad after completing a custodial sentence. Akins was jailed in April after admitting causing death by careless or inconsiderate driving in relation to a March 2022 road traffic collision that killed cyclist Adrian Daniel. He received a 14-month sentence, with seven months in custody and seven months on licence, and a one-year driving ban. The club cited principles of rehabilitation and reintegration, offered sincere condolences to the victim's family, stated Akins has expressed profound remorse, and noted his playing history with Mansfield and Burton Albion.
