Notts County has confirmed their offer of a two-year contract has been accepted by defender Connell Rawlinson.

At 31 years old, he is one of the Magpies' longest-standing players, having joined them in 2019 when they embarked on their first season in the National League.

Since his arrival, his passionate approach has been evident and the board of directors, along with Luke Williams, did not hesitate to offer him the opportunity to be part of the next chapter of our club.

In a statement released on the official Notts County site: A statement reads: "We have immense respect for Connell’s qualities, both as a player and as an individual, and we are thrilled that he will be staying with us."

"We've seen him evolve over the years and adapt brilliantly to new roles and responsibilities.

"He was a key player for us in what proved to be one of the best seasons in our recent history and has experience of League Two from his time at Port Vale, so we have every confidence he can continue to make a very positive contribution with his performances.

"Away from the field, we believe Connell’s excellent relationship with our supporters and deeply engrained understanding of the club and its culture are extremely valuable.

"Everyone could see how much our victory at Wembley meant to him and we really appreciate his passion, loyalty and commitment."

Good news! I will be happier once some of the others put pen to paper. Yet, I am delighted Connell Rawlinson had committed to Notts.

I think, the squad will soon start to take shape. I also suspect the players are starting to return from their time off. I look forward to seeing news about the other players and, perhaps a few new faces.

delighted to see that connell rawlinson has agreed a new deal, i think 2 years gives both him and notts the flexability to see how his performances impact the team. as it mentions, he has experience at this level and we need a variety of that.

It is fantastic news indeed that Connell has been given this opportunity. Not only is he a superb player on the field, but he is also a superb person off the field. He has been an integral part of both our squad and our community, consistently showing his appreciation and devotion to Notts. Connell truly deserves this chance to showcase his abilities and leadership skills. I have no doubt that he will guide us to triumph in the upcoming season.
