He earned promotion from League Two with Northampton in 2016, where he was named in the PFA Team of the Year for a second season.

Manager Nigel Clough said: “John-Joe is a player we know well from our time at Burton.

“He is experienced and can play in different positions.

“He is competitive, aggressive at times, and good in the air, which is something we also need.

“With us currently being low on playing personnel through injuries, it’s ideal for both us and him to joins us till January and see how it goes.”

Struggling Stags today aim for a first win in 14 games away at Exeter City.
