The 36 -year -old was sentenced last April to a 14 -month sentenceas he was found guilty of the death of 33 -year -old cyclist Andrian Daniel, who ended up 10 days after he was hit by the car driven by the footballer near Huddersfield.

The case dates back to March 2022, when Elins was already a Mansfield player. Despite the judicial proceedings, he continued to compete normally with the Stagns and even took part in a League One match just hours after he admitted his guilt to the Leeds court in March 2025.

Following the announcement of the sentence, Mansfield coach Nigel Klaff admitted that the decision was an “incredible shock” for the club. Since January 2022, when he joined the team from Burton Albion, Elins has recorded more than 150 appearances, having worked in the past under the guidance of Claf.

The player is expected to be released by serving half of his sentencesomething that will allow him to return to action before Christmas, with Mansfield stating him on the championship list. However, the English stressed that he would review his position on the future of the player as soon as he was released.
