Jon Stead: 'Uncertainty over my future led to me taking my eye off the ball'

Jon Stead has admitted that uncertainty over his future last season led to him taking his eye off the ball, but has reassured Notts County fans that there is "more to come" from him in 2017-18.

The veteran striker was considering a move to America in January, while the period directly after the League Two campaign finished saw him on the radar of clubs all around the world.

However, Stead has since put pen to paper on a new deal at Meadow Lane and, looking back over his time at Notts so far, conceded that he may not have been at his best from time to time.

"I've had some off games but I don't think I've had any stinkers," he told the Nottingham Post.

"For the best part, I think that shows in the offers that I had because I've had two decent seasons, which helps massively.

"But the uncertainty regarding my future led to me taking my eye off the ball and I don't like doing that.

"But there's certainly more to come from me and I just can't wait to get going again."
