Derby County loanee Mason Bennett wants to help Notts County fight for promotion

Mason Bennett has outlined his intention to help Notts County achieve promotion from League Two and get himself a winner's medal.

The 21-year-old completed a loan move from Derby County to Meadow Lane on Wednesday night, the switch officially confirmed by the Magpies after the 11pm transfer window deadline.

Bennett is expected to go straight into the Notts squad for Saturday's home game with Crewe Alexandra as the hosts seek to remain in the top three.

"I'm delighted to get the move done because it's been going on for a couple of weeks now,” Bennett told the Nottingham Post.

"I made sure I got up early so that I was ready if I received a call in the morning so there was a lot of waiting around, but I'm anxious to get going and delighted to be here.

"It's a great club and a massive club which is going in the right direction and I want to help it push in to League One.

“The manager is great and he's as delighted to have me here as I am to be here. I want to make a great impact for the team and help them push on to win promotion.

“It's a great challenge for me. I've been in the Championship and League One and now I want to come down to League Two and try to get a medal here too.

“I want to help the team fight for promotion. That is the main goal and that is why I am here. There are a lot of games to play so if I can get a couple of goals then that will be a huge plus.”
