Shaw started his career at Sheffield Wednesday before joining Burton

Mansfield Town have agreed to sign Jon Shaw after the striker terminated his contract at Rochdale.

The 26-year-old has had spells on loan at Barrow and Gateshead this season and will sign an 18-month contract at Field Mill on Friday.

He said: "It's been a hard time trying to get away from Rochdale, but I am very pleased to be joining Mansfield."

Meanwhile keeper Alan Marriott, 31, has signed an extension to his deal which keeps him at Field Mill until 2012.

Marriott told the club's website: "This club has a family atmosphere and expectations here are high.

"I want to play until I am 40, hopefully with Mansfield. It is a club which fits my bill off and on the pitch."
