Jon Stead has reiterated his desire to fire Notts County to the upper regions of the League Two table, for the fans and the club as well as for himself.

The 34-year-old was rumoured to be on the way out of Meadow Lane, with offers to join clubs all around the world, but he will be a Magpie next season after penning a new deal.

Stead admits that things spiralled out of control last season, but with Alan Hardy as owner and Kevin Nolan as manager, he believes things will kick on in 2017-18.

He told the Nottingham Post: "I want to be successful. I've had plenty of relegations and not many promotions.

"I want to be competing at the top end of the table season in, season out. I want that success and I want to do that here at Notts.

"I've got a great relationship with the club and the fans. They know I give it everything and that won't change.

"When I signed a couple of seasons ago, everything started well enough and looked promising.

"Suddenly things don't go to plan, things start to spiral and it looks as if it will go out of control. But the turnaround has been massive.

"It's huge for the club to have an owner with a real passion for the club. There's a real buzz about the place and it's great to be a part of."
