Haydn Hollis signs new contract at Notts County

Haydn Hollis has become the latest player to commit his future to Notts County after signing a new deal at Meadow Lane.

The 24-year-old central defender, a Magpies academy product, has made 133 appearances for the club since making his debut in January 2012, and has scored seven goals.

Hollis told the official Notts site: "Since the manager told me he wanted to offer me a new deal I’ve been desperate to sign it.

"The gaffer’s someone I love working for and Richard Thomas and Mark Crossley also deserve a lot of credit, along with everyone else the manager has with him.

"The club’s going into a new time now - we're even getting a new kit brand. It's completely changing and I’m glad I’m going to be a part of it."

Notts boss Kevin Nolan added: "I am absolutely delighted that Haydn has decided to stay with us.

"I have spoken a number of times about his attitude and the way he carries himself about the club - he has been first class since I walked through the door.

"Even when he found himself out of the squad he never let his professionalism or commitment slip. He kept working hard and thoroughly deserves his new deal."
