Izale McLeod signs for Notts County

Notts County have signed striker Izale McLeod from Crawley Town for an undisclosed six-figure fee.

The 30-year-old, who scored 21 goals last season as the Red Devils were relegated from League One, has put pen to paper on a two-year deal at Meadow Lane.

McLeod was unveiled to a warm reception at half time during the Magpies' league game against Accrington Stanley, which finished 1-1.

Chairman Ray Trew told the club's official site: “We’ve been trying to sign Izale for the last month and eventually we were able to strike a deal with Crawley which we’re very happy with.

“Obviously we still have a few issues with the team which we’re addressing. Ricardo wants a proven goal scorer and we’ve got that for this level. At Huddersfield we played exceptionally well but we’re always searching for players who are going to improve the playing squad .”

McLeod has plenty of experience in English football and can count Charlton Athletic, Derby County and Portsmouth among his former clubs.
