John Sheridan would not mind Izale McLeod leaving Notts County

John Sheridan has said he will not stand in Izale McLeod's way if he wants to leave Notts County, adding that he cannot guarantee the former Crawley man any first-team football.

The striker's future at Meadow Lane has been under the spotlight this summer, with rumours of a potential move to Stevenage surfacing in the press.

Sheridan has a glut of forwards at his disposal aside from McLeod including Adam Campbell, Jonathan Forte, Jon Stead and loanee Vadaine Oliver.

"Izale's an experienced player and has been a very good player over the years," Sheridan told the Nottingham Post.

"I don't want to patronise or be clever with anyone, I think Izale needs to be playing football.

"I've spoken to him. It's important he gets a regular place somewhere and I can't offer him that here.

"I've explained that situation to him and if a club comes in then I wouldn't stand in his way."
