Ben Hall comments on teammate Kane Hemmings and Notts County pre-season training

Notts County defender Ben Hall has tipped Kane Hemmings to have a good season as he admits he is the most difficult striker to deal with in training.

Following last season's playoff near-miss, the Magpies set about bolstering their ranks with big money signings, Hemmings recruited from Oxford United for a six-figure sum.

"I'd probably say Kane Hemmings is the toughest to mark at the moment with his movement. His hold up play is good too," Brighton loanee Hall told the Nottingham Post.

"He was holding defenders off against Leicester so I think he'll be good for us."

Hall also commented on Kevin Nolan's training regime, adding: "It's been difficult, especially last week. It's not nice, but it's what you've got to do to be ready for the start of the season.

"There's one or two things still to come together yet. We've got another two weeks to get ready. We'll get that right and be ready for the start of the season."
