Biography
Goalkeeper Mannion was poached from the AFC Wimbledon youth team in June 2016, who 11 months later received a six figure fee as compensation for his development. Will was unused substitute in several Premier League and Championship matches during 2017 before making his debut in a League Cup tie at Doncaster Rovers, a few weeks after he had attracted the attention of Southampton. Following his first team bow, Mannion gained more experience through loan moves to lower league clubs but was not able to break back into the first team picture and left the club in July 2020.
In August 2020 Will signed for Cypriot side Pafos FC. A year later he returned to England and signed for Cambridge United. He spent a month on loan at National League South side Havant & Waterlooville in October and November 2021 before returning to the Abbey Stadium and becoming the U’s number two first team goalkeeper for the next three seasons.
In June 2024 Will transferred to League One side Charlton Athletic and began the 2024/25 season as first choice keeper in Natahn Jones’s side.
Mannion was capped at England under-19 level during 2016 and 2017.
