John Sheridan targeting proven players for Notts County

New Notts County manager John Sheridan has outlined his ideal transfer targets going into next season, with players who have proven themselves in League Two or higher top of his agenda.

The Magpies will reportedly come out of a transfer embargo by the start of next week at the latest, giving the former Oldham Athletic boss a chance to recruit his own players and possibly ship others out.

When asked what kind of players he would be after, Sheridan said: "Players who know this league. Possibly players who've been in play-offs and been in division one (League One) and done well.

"Possibly there's an age limit but I'm not frightened of young players at all. Most important is to get a balance to the team.

"When I won the league with Chesterfield we scored lots of goals. We were fortunate to have very good players.

"We were very attack minded. I went out with the attitude we'll score more than the opposition.

"At the same time, we went to Plymouth and had 22 clean sheets. As you gain experience as a manager it's important you are organised.

"The pitch is a big one here (at Meadow Lane) so you need pace on it. They're the things I'm looking at."
