Liam Mandeville (born 17 February 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as winger for EFL League Two club Chesterfield.
Career
[edit]Mandeville made his first team debut for Doncaster Rovers on 3 April 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Jonson Clarke-Harris in a home League One match against Bradford City at the Keepmoat Stadium.[2] In November 2015, he joined Northern Premier League Premier Division side Whitby Town on a one-month loan deal.[3] Mandeville scored his first professional goal for Doncaster Rovers in a 2–1 defeat to Walsall at the Keepmoat Stadium.[4]
Mandeville scored his first goal of the season in an EFL Cup game against Nottingham Forest which Rovers went onto lose 2–1. On 8 October 2016 Andy Williams was injured in a game v Barnet which gave Mandeville a chance in the first team. He started his goal scoring form with a goal against Oldham in the FA Cup which Rovers lost 2–1 again. Mandeville inspired Rovers to come from 1–0 behind to defeat Exeter 3–1. He got a goal and assist which led him to start against Hartlepool and he scored the winner in this game. He scored 2 more against Leyton Orient and another against Stevenage. Mandeville missed a late penalty against Plymouth in a 2–0 defeat. Plymouth's goalkeeper Luke McCormick mocked him which led to captain James Coppinger being sent off in the aftermath. He then scored from a free kick to earn Doncaster a win against Grimsby Town. This capped off the week that Mandeville won the EFL young player of the month.[5]
On 31 January 2018, he joined League Two club Colchester United on loan until the end of the 2017–18 season.[6] He made his Colchester debut from the bench on 10 February in their 1–1 draw at Carlisle United.[7]
He was released by Doncaster at the end of the 2018–19 season.[8]
On 5 June 2019, Mandeville signed a two-year contract with Chesterfield.[9] In October 2022, he signed a new contract with Chesterfield until the summer of 2024.[10] In the 2022–23 season, Mandeville won the club's Player of the Year award having contributed 9 goals and 14 assists to the side.[10] In the play-offs, Mandeville added to this tally by scoring the winner for Chesterfield in the semi-final tie against Bromley, scoring in extra time.[11] In the play-off final, Mandeville started for Chesterfield against Notts County at Wembley Stadium.[12] However, the Spireites lost on penalties.[12] During the 2023–24 season, Chesterfield were promoted to the EFL as champions and he was named in the division's Team of the Year for his contributions.[13] Mandeville showed his versatility by playing at right full back as well as his more usual attacking midfield and forward roles throughout the season.[14]
Style of play
[edit]"He's got a lot of attributes that I want from an attacker; he's got good vision, he can finish with both feet and he's very good technically." Darren Ferguson on Mandeville in 2016.[5]
"It is definitely helping my game. They say that when you are a kid you should play different positions to get a good understanding of the game – I am just a little bit older!" Liam Mandeville October 2023.[14]
