Forest Green have signed Mansfield Town midfielder Matt Somner on a free transfer, while the Stags have also released club captain Ryan Williams.

Somner, 28, who has yet to pass his medical, moved to Field Mill from Notts County in August 2008 and made more than 60 appearances.

He has been on loan with Altrincham this season.

Williams, 32, joined the Stags from Weymouth in February 2009 and made 30 appearances last season.

But he has been out on loan at Gainsborough and has played just twice for the Stags this season.

Gary Mills, Rob Duffy and loanees Simon Grand, Peter Vincenti, Kevin Pilkington and Steve Cook have already left the Stags this month.
