The six-foot-one defender registered more than 2,200 minutes in each of his campaigns with Forest in the Championship, contributing time at all three positions along the backline as well as the midfield. The London, England native's resume also includes three seasons with Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga, and a pair of loan assignments from Chelsea with Wolverhampton Wanderers from 2008-11, and Queens Park Rangers from 2006-08. Mancienne, who began his professional career with Chelsea in 2006, made six first-team appearances across all competitions for The Blues between 2006-11, including a substitute appearance in a 2009 UEFA Champions League Round of 16 matchup against Juventus.
