Notts County manager Luke Williams has returned to training as the squad prepares for their pre-season games.

Notts County has announced that they have offered a permanent contract to winger Jodi Jones, who was on loan from Oxford United last season. Jones played a key role in the Magpies’ promotion back to the English Football League via the National League play-offs. He scored a dramatic winner in the semi-final against Boreham Wood and converted a penalty in the shoot-out victory over Chesterfield at Wembley. Jones, 25, joined Oxford United last summer after leaving Coventry City. He had su

Magpies' manager Luke Williams has stated that Notts County striker Macaulay Langstaff has proven his worth by being the first player in England's top five leagues to score 30 goals this season. Langstaff's hat-trick against Yeovil made him only the third Notts player in 73 years to achieve this feat.

Notts County responded with the opening goal on 10 minutes as Jodi Jones’ excellent cross was headed home by Crowley inside the area.  They had to wait another two minutes to have the ball in the net again, though, as Brindley met Jones’ half-cleared cross with a sweet strike from 20 yards. Some of the standout players for Notts County in the match were Dan Crowley, David McGoldrick, and Richard Brindley. Telford United played well in their counter-attacking football, being direct and

Notts County manager Luke Williams expressed his satisfaction with his team's performance after their first win of the new season, a thrilling 3-2 comeback victory.  In his post match interview, he said, "We didn't want to go behind once.

Notts County manager, Luke Williams, is preparing his team for their game against Doncaster Rovers tomorrow.  In his pre-match interview, Williams said, "Yeah, we're trying to get prepared, final preparations today for the game.

Notts County manager, Luke Williams, believes that allowing Joel Taylor to leave was the right decision as it allows the team to focus on their remaining nine games. Taylor left the club as his contract was mutually terminated in an attempt to obtain regular first-team football elsewhere. Taylor had a strong start to the season, scoring a goal in Notts' opening-day victory, but his playing time dwindled, leading to a loan to Dagenham and Redbridge. Williams hinted at a potential return for

Matt Tootle is optimist that a "strange season" for Notts County can end on a high note after moving 11 points clear of the League Two drop zone. The Magpies put in an immense performance to claim a 1-0 win over Barnet at Meadow Lane on Sunday, Tootle scoring a second-half winner.

Notts County midfielder Liam Walker has written himself into Gibraltar's history as his late goal against Latvia gave the British Overseas Territory their first ever win as a FIFA nation. Gibraltar and Latvia faced off in a friendly on Sunday at Victoria Park, the first time the stadium hosted their country's football team in two years.

Notts County midfielder Noor Husin has picked up the February award for League Two Goal of the Month. The goal in question was the equaliser in County's 4-1 win over Crewe Alexandra on February 3.

Husin, who beat Swindon Town's Matt Taylor and Cheltenham Town's Joe Morrell to the gong, was presented with t
