John Sheridan offers Notts County players the chance to prove themselves

Notts County manager John Sheridan has called on his players to prove that they have a future at Meadow Lane.

Fifteen players are still under contract, while the likes of Ronan Murray and Filip Valencic could potentially be given new deals despite being released last month.

The former Newport County and Oldham Athletic boss insists that he will be bringing new players in, but the ones still on the books can redeem themselves following last year’s abysmal campaign.

"Whoever is under contract has an opportunity to impress me. They struggled last season and they struggled for a reason," Sheridan said.

"Obviously I'm going to add players. I know the leagues well and I know what type of player we need to improve on last season.

"The players who are here have an opportunity. If a player doesn't want to be here he's not going to figure. I'm not looking at last season. I'm looking forward.

"The players are the ones who will win games and get us out the division. I do feel I need to add.

"I'm already working behind the scenes and talking to players. I'm trying to get the right ones in."
