Shelvey has experienced training around the first team at Nottingham Forest and being involved in those things has been very beneficial for the 20-year-old.
He was on the substitutes’ bench for Forest’s Emirates FA Cup tie at Chelsea last season before a short-term loan allowed him to get some valuable minutes before eventually returning to The City Ground.
Mansfield Town manager Nigel Clough spoke on the signing of the young goalkeeper with goalkeeping coach, Seamus McDonagh, playing a huge part in the signing.
“George is a young goalkeeper with a lot of potential. Seamus McDonagh, our goalkeeping coach, has worked with him before at Forest and speaks highly of him.
“Being involved day-in-day out with a good, League Two first team squad will only benefit his development.
“He’ll probably start out as a number two goalkeeper but we want him to really push for the number one spot.
“He’s not come to sit on the bench. He’ll have some games in the EFL Trophy and fixtures like that.”
