Notts County have announced that Gibraltar international Liam Walker has left the club. The 30-year-old joined the Magpies last summer from Gibraltar Premier Division outfit Europa FC. Walker has made 19 appearances this season but has found himself on the fringes of the team and in recent weeks struggled even to make the bench. Notts confirmed the news of Walker's contract being terminated by mutual consent on Monday afternoon, stating that he had left "with immediate effect to p

Former Belgium international Gill Swerts has had his Notts County contract terminated by mutual consent. Having arrived at Meadow Lane on a two-year deal last summer, the ex-Feyenoord, AZ Alkmaar and Vitesse Arnhem player made 16 appearances before falling down the pecking order in recent weeks. Jamie Fullarton told the official website: "We received an offer for Gill last week but that fell through at the last minute which was disappointi

Crawley Town goalkeeper Glenn Morris has paid tribute to Notts County following their performance and result in their 1-0 win at Broadfield Stadium. Jorge Grant scored the winner on Saturday, firing home from Jonathan Forte's slide pass, as the Magpies cemented their hold on second place in League Two. Morris said Notts are well worth their high ranking in the table as they put in a solid performance on the Red Devils' patch. He told the West Sussex County Times: “They managed the

Scott Loach has confirmed that he is leaving Notts County. The 28-year-old goalkeeper will see his deal at Meadow Lane expire in the summer, and he will not be offered a new contract by the club. Loach spent the latter part of the season on loan at York City in the National League, with the Minstermen suffering relegation on the final day of the season. He is quoted by the Nottingham Post as saying: "I have loved every minute of my time at the club and it's been a pleasure to play

Jack Grealish, the former Notts County impresser made the headlines for all the wrong reasons last week when the youthful playmaker was spotted appearing drunkenly sprawled on the streets of Tenerife whilst on holiday with friends. A photo of Grealish emerged on Twitter a week last Sunday which soon went viral as the general public lapped up the news of the highly-rated prospect snapped worse for wear, unconscious on the road by a fellow holiday-maker.

Grimsby Town chairman John Fenty has declared that he is open to speaking to Sol Campbell about their vacant managerial position. The former England defender, who had a one-game spell at Notts County in 2009, told a podcast last week that he could not understand why "one of the greatest minds in football" was being overlooked for jobs. Campbell was speaking after failing to land the Oxford United job, but Fenty has said he is willing to speak to the 43-year-old as he searches for a rep

Grimsby Town boss Paul Hurst has been named as the favourite with Sky Bet to become the next permanent Notts County manager. The 41-year-old, who will lead his side in their play-off second leg game at Braintree today, is 5/2 favourite to take the helm at Meadow Lane. Former Mariner Wayne Burnett is also said to be in the running at 8/1, behind Richard Dryden, while the names of Ian Hendon, Mark Robins, Malky Mackay, Richard Money and even Sol Campbell - a novelty bet at 80/1 - have be

Guy Branston, Notts County's head of recruitment, has left the club after 15 months on the same day as the retained players' list was released. The 37-year-old joined as chief scout in February 2015 and has played a role in recruiting players for the struggling League Two outfit. In terms of playing staff, the key departures include Northern Ireland international goalkeeper Roy Carroll, midfielder Liam Noble and defender Blair Adams. The full retained list is as follows: Out

Harry Kewell has admitted that Notts County were "very, very poor" in their 4-0 loss at Bury and will be desperate to make amendments following the "horrific performance". The Shakers were impressive at Gigg Lane while Notts were lacklustre, a combination which meant for a one-sided game in which the hosts ran riot and scored two goals per half. “We were poor throughout the whole match,” Kewell told the Notts website. “We knew what Bury were good at and had a process in place to counte

Harry Kewell has outlined the need for Notts County to be smarter in possession if they are to stop their current rot. The Magpies are currently at the bottom of League Two, having claimed just one point on the opening day of the season. Kewell, who has recently replaced Kevin Nolan as manager, has taken charge of one game so far, the 2-1 loss to Grimsby Town in the EFL Trophy. The former Crawley Town boss was pleased with what he saw in the first half of the game but felt his pla

Harry Kewell has admitted that Notts County need to bring in another "leader". The Magpies invested heavily in the summer transfer market but remain third from bottom in League Two, having lost their last three games. Kewell, who replaced Kevin Nolan early in the campaign, would like to recruit a player who can add to the leadership brought by Jon Stead and Elliott Ward. “We have a leader in Steady and we have Wardy who has great potential,” the Australian told the Nottingham Post

Crawley Town boss Harry Kewell is expecting an aggressive and entertaining game between his side and Notts County tomorrow. The Magpies travel to the Broadfield Stadium at the weekend with the chance of making it eight games unbeaten in all competitions. Kewell knows Nolan well, having faced him in the Premier League in the 2000s, and is relishing the chance to take him on from the dugout this time. "It's sure to be an aggressive game, but an entertaining one as well," the Austral

Harry Kewell has claimed that Notts County need more time to click to his methods but insists he is "happy with the way the team is going". The Magpies are back in a poor run of form following the bright spell just before the international break, but on the plus side they are unbeaten in their last two. That said, Port Vale really should have been beaten last weekend, while a lacklustre Oldham Athletic threatened to take all three points at Meadow Lane in midweek. “I am happy with

Harry Kewell has claimed that Notts County seem to finally be moving in the right direction although "time, blood, sweat and tears" will continue to be needed in pursuit of the upper reaches of the League Two table. The Magpies have now won their last two league games and are unbeaten in four, a stark turnaround from earlier in the season when they looked unfit for purpose in the fourth tier. “It’s looking good especially in the opposition half,” Kewell told the Nottingham Post after t

Crawley Town's director of football has spoken of Harry Kewell's move to Notts County, saying the Australian "made it clear" he wanted to speak to the Magpies for the job. Kewell was one of the names touted to replace Kevin Nolan at the helm of the Meadow lane outfit, and rumours picked up pace on Thursday before the appointment was confirmed on Friday morning. Selim Gaygusuz said a deal was agreed - with a compensation package reported by the press to have been set at £400,000 - and a

Harry Kewell has revealed that Kristian Dennis and Andy Kellett are among the Notts County players who will be given a start against Newcastle United's Under-21s in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday night. The Magpies will be contesting their fourth match in 10 days and the Australian boss admits he will seek to use a "completely different" starting XI to the one that has often been selected in the league. “Kristian, Andy, Noor Husin, David Vaughan and Nathan Thomas will all start,” Kewell tol

Notts County manager Harry Kewell has claimed that only Sam Osborne and Tyreece Kennedy-Williams impressed in their 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United Under-21s on Tuesday night. The other Magpies claimed a straightforward victory at Meadow Lane as a penalty from Callum Roberts and a strike from Elias Sorensen left Notts at the bottom of the EFL Trophy Group G. “I am disappointed,” Kewell told the Nottingham Post following the game, in which he made widescale changes. “You get asked a

Harry Kewell has warned Notts County's players that anyone who shirks hard work will be out of the starting XI right away as he bids to mould the team into one that wins "however that may be". The former Liverpool, Leeds United and Australia winger was appointed last week as Kevin Nolan's replacement, the latter dismissed with the Magpies at the foot of League Two. “I want to win, however that may be," Kewell told the official Notts site. "We’ll have a plan and a structure but tha

Notts County boss Harry Kewell has claimed that Kristian Dennis is "100 percent capable" of reaching double figures and most likely just needs to up his match fitness. The Magpies forward has been drafted into the starting XI following injuries to Jon Stead and Kane Hemmings, but has found the going tough against Port Vale and Oldham Athletic. “I do have sympathy with him,” Kewell told the Nottingham Post. “But he is a fantastic player and he knows the role. “He’s come up against

Harry Kewell has admitted that Oldham Athletic's forward line will be a "challenge" for Notts County's defence. The two sides meet up on Tuesday night in a League Two game rescheduled due to international commitments on the Latics' part. In his press conference, Kewell also spoke about individual players such as Richard Duffy, Jon Stead and Ben Hall. “It’s going to be a challenge for my back four,” the Australian told the official Notts site. “They have two big, aggressive st

Harry Kewell has moved to reassure Notts County's fans that the team is "going to improve" for sure but he nonetheless called for patience. The Magpies were beaten 5-1 by Exeter City at the weekend, with the Australian sent to the stands in his first league game in charge since succeeding Kevin Nolan as manager. Kewell thanked the 278 supporters who had made the long trip to Devon and promised brighter days ahead with the team currently in transition. "I want to thank them for com
