Derby County forward Mason Bennett wishes Notts County well in League Two promotion quest

Mason Bennett has revealed that he's still in touch with the Notts County players and staff, and has wished them well in their quest to gain promotion from League Two.

The Derby County striker had joined the Magpies on loan until the end of the season in January and impressed on his debut off the bench against Crewe Alexandra.

Sadly, the move was cut short when he seriously injured his hamstring in his first start for the club at Barnet.

“It wasn’t going for me at Derby at that time and I needed to go out and play football,” Bennett told Rams TV.

“I remember being on the phone to the gaffer and he said ‘go score me some goals’. To get that goal (against Crewe) was a nice relief. But then I got my first start and that (injury) happened.

“But I am still in the WhatsApp group chat and I’ve spoken to the manager there and the staff. They keep asking me how I am doing and when I’m back.

“But I hope they do well. I am rooting for them as they are a great bunch of lads. It’s a great club and hopefully they will have promotion at the end of the season.”
