Mandron arrives on a free transfer from Gillingham after his Gills contract expired.<\/p>\n<p>Mandron is a vastly experienced striker even at the age of 25. He began his career in the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Premier League<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/sunderland\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sunderland<\/a>.
