He made 31 Scottish Premiership appearances, with 17 coming last season as Hibs finished third in the table.
After speaking with Stags boss Nigel Clough, Moriah-Welsh said the club "stood out to me the most" when thinking over his future.
"Everything seemed to make sense so it's the right move at the right time to go and push on," he said.
"I always want to improve as a player and a person. I'm an energetic midfielder who wants to get up and down and likes a tackle."
Moriah-Welsh is the sixth new player to join The Stags ahead of the new League One season following midfielder Regan Hendry, goalkeeper Liam Roberts, defenders Kyle Knoyle and Ryan Sweeney and Nottingham Forest loanee midfielder Kyle McAdam.

McGlynn aims to keep 'punching above weight'
Falkirk have come a long, long way under John McGlynn. Languishing in League One with no sign of revival, their upturn in fortunes rested on the appointment of the former Hearts and Raith Rovers manager three years ago. Advertisement Since then, the trajectory has almost entirely been one way. Upwards. Under McGlynn, Falkirk are reborn and now take their place at the top table of Scottish football for the first time in 15 years. With just over a month until their opening Premiership fixture against Dundee United, McGlynn tells BBC Scotland about their remarkable journey, and assesses just how far they can go. How will Falkirk approach their top flight test? After back-to-back promotions, adopting an eye-catching, attacking style of play, there's incredible excitement among long-suffering Falkirk fans. "We'll respect the league, it's a really tough league, but we want to go up and mix it," said 63-year-old McGlynn. Advertisement "We know we'll have to punch above our weight but that's what we've done. "We're up for it. We're there on merit and want to embrace the challenge and be positive in how we go about things. "We want to maintain the style as best as we possibly can." That mentality served Falkirk well after promotion from League One. In preparation for their Championship-winning season, McGlynn cited the example of Ipswich Town to his squad. After promotion from England's third tier, they went straight up again to the Premier League. Falkirk used that template effectively but will look to stop there given the Tractor Boys' recent relegation. Advertisement However, despite often hearing promoted managers speak of survival as the priority, it's clear Falkirk's ambitions lie beyond that. "Who won the league the year before in the Championship," McGlynn asked rhetorically. "Dundee United? Where did Dundee United finish? Fourth. "We can take them as an example. The year before that, was it Dundee. Tony Docherty did remarkably well, they got top six. "I appreciate they have not been five years in League One but I think there's an example there that you can go up and do well." So what would satisfy McGlynn? "Top six would be an incredible achievement," he said without hesitation. Advertisement Continuity in the squad has been key to their success and it seems will be a theme again with the experienced Brian Graham and Scott Bain the only additions so far, with a few loan options potentially to follow. Little time for reflection as toughest test looms "It's been a little bit of a whirlwind," McGlynn conceded when reflecting back to those Championship-winning scenes, and everything that's happened along the way in Falkirk's incredible rise. "I'm not really sure it's really sunk in. I think it'll be in years to come where maybe you can reflect and think that was a bit of an achievement. The ambition kind of flows on to the next stage and the next stage now is the Premiership." Advertisement It's worth considering that some Falkirk fans simply don't know what's it's like to be a Premiership club. They were last in the top tier in 2010. Three years ago there was absolutely no sign of the success they've now lived and delighted in. "We've done something that is not so easy to do," McGlynn explained. "Having to start basically from scratch, coming into a team that was finishing sixth in League One. Two seasons later, invincible and then in the third season getting into the Premiership. "It's a great achievement." That achievement led to back-to-back manager of the year acceptance speeches at the PFA Scotland awards. Advertisement McGlynn is the only man with three of those prizes and it's something he seems genuinely taken aback by. "Quite embarrassed, actually, to be thinking that I'm the one who's got three," he said. "There have been so many great managers in Scotland. Very proud, very honoured, very privileged to be in that position." Falkirk academy returns Scott Arfield came through Falkirk's Academy before moving on to Rangers and Burnley [SNS] As Falkirk struggled in the lower reaches, cutbacks had to be made and one area that was controversially scrapped was their youth academy. The place the likes of Scott Arfield emerged from has now been reinstated to the delight of all connected with the club. Advertisement "We're going ahead with a full-scale academy," McGlynn explained. "We're ready to go from under 10, all the way up. "It's huge for the Falkirk public to have their academy back in place. There was a big uproar at the time. "It will take time and it might be a few years down the line before we can be producing players that are playing in the first team and possible sellable assets. "At least now we have that infrastructure. There's been too many local players going to every other football club because there's been nothing here for them, and now that's not the case." You can hear the full interview with John McGlynn on BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound on Saturday 28th June from 14:00 BST.

Liverpool defender closer to agreement over new deal
The arrival of Milos Kerkez is going to have a knock-on effect for several Liverpool players. Having paid around £45m to Bournemouth for the left-back, the Reds will plan to utilise the Hungarian as their first-choice in the position for the long term. That will have an impact on Andy Robertson, who has been with the club since 2017, as well as Kostas Tsimikas. The club isn't big enough for three left-backs - and the deposed duo are not short of transfer interest. Advertisement It appears certain that one or both will leave this summer, thereby allowing Kerkez to take his place in the team. But there is another Liverpool left-back to consider here. It's Owen Beck. The 22-year-old enjoyed a productive season out on loan at Blackburn last term - and returns to the club under considerable scrutiny. Owen Beck linked with Rangers The Welshman has got plenty of clubs interested in signing him - a list that reportedly includes Sheffield United and Wrexham. Most recently it was reported that Rangers had plans to add Beck this summer - although it wasn't specified if it was a loan move or a permanent deal. Advertisement But now the picture is becoming a little clearer with the news that the club are talking to the left-back over a new deal. Under contract only until 2026, it would be pointless if the Reds let him out on loan only to lose him for free next summer. But Football Insider now suggests that the club will seek to tie him down to a new contract before sanctioning a loan deal. Liverpool talking to Owen Beck over new deal 'Liverpool have opened talks with defender Owen Beck over a new contract,' the report reads. 'The Reds and will look to tie him down to a new deal before sanctioning a loan move away this summer. Advertisement 'Beck is likely to leave Anfield on loan with the 22-year-old pushed further down the pecking order in Arne Slot's plans following the arrival of Milos Kerkez. 'Rangers, Derby and Wrexham are all interested in loan moves for Beck before the summer window shuts.' © IMAGO Could Beck replace Robbo and Tsimikas? A new contract plus a loan move will protect Liverpool from a transfer fee perspective. If Beck goes on to enjoy a good season at Rangers or elsewhere then Liverpool can formulate a plan for a permanent deal. Alternatively Beck may well have the option of returning to Anfield as a Kerkez back-up. Robertson, 31, will leave next summer when his contract ends if he doesn't get a move away this year. And Tsimikas has rarely convinced in a Liverpool shirt - with the club surely willing to cash in. That would leave a spot free for Beck to challenge Kerkez - and save the Reds plenty of money on a potential left-back replacement.
