Jorge Grant off-the-pitch stresses forgotten thanks to impressive Notts County display

Jorge Grant has spoken of how a stressful week ended on a positive note thanks to football.

The Notts County midfielder, who has recently got on the housing ladder, had to deal with flooding in his home due to plumbing issues.

However, you wouldn't have known due to his impressive performance on the pitch, scoring twice to help Notts beat Cheltenham Town 3-1 and keep the Magpies top of League Two.

“The drain is fixed which is good news, but there are a lot more problems than I expected,” Grant told the Nottingham Post.

“But that comes with buying a house and it’s nice for the week to end the way it has.

“It has been stressful because my mum and dad live away so I’ve had to deal with it myself.

“I’ve got a few friends who have helped me out. When it first happened, I had never been in that position before.

“But when you start playing football you forget about everything. And we really enjoyed ourselves out there.”
