Career

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.[3] In November 2015, he joined Northern Premier League Premier Division side Whitby Town on a one-month loan deal.[4] Mandeville scored his first professional goal for Doncaster Rovers in a 2–1 defeat to Walsall at the Keepmoat Stadium.[5]

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.[6]

On 31 January 2018, he joined League Two club Colchester United on loan until the end of the 2017–18 season.[7] He made his Colchester debut from the bench on 10 February in their 1–1 draw at Carlisle United.[8]

He was released by Doncaster at the end of the 2018–19 season.[9]

On 5 June 2019, Mandeville signed a two-year contract with Chesterfield.[10]

In the 2022-23 season, Mandeville won the clubs player of the season at the clubs awards and scored the winning goal to send Chesterfield to the national league play-off final capping off a fantastic season
