Fleetwood Town are pleased to announce the signing of defender Ben Whelan who joins our Development Squad as a first-year professional on a one-year deal.
The 18-year-old played on the grassroots circuit until the Under-16s age group and trialled at multiple clubs before signing a two-year scholarship with Mansfield Town, where he was an ever-present figure.
Whelan comes to Town on the back of a summer trail in recent weeks and will now join Matt Lawlor’s Development Squad alongside fellow recent signings Sam Fishburn, Finlay Armstrong, Harry Wright, Maleace Asamoah, and Theo Williams.
Welcome to the club, Ben!
