Kevin Nolan confirms he will register again as a Notts County player next season

Kevin Nolan has confirmed that he will be registering again as a Notts County squad player next season.

The 34-year-old, who took over the managerial reins in January this year, registered this year but is yet to join his players on the pitch.

However, Nolan confirmed that he will be involved again as a squad member going into the new campaign, citing the injury to Michael O'Connor as an example of needing cover in midfield.

"I am going to do pre-season with the players and sign on as a player again," Nolan told the Nottingham Post.

"I know the chairman wants to see me in a black and white shirt, so I might just give him some of my Newcastle videos.

"But in all seriousness we are going to be missing Michael O'Connor and that's a massive loss to me and I am devastated for the lad.

"Because of things like that, I have to make sure I am available if we lose another midfielder.

"I might get the hunger back and decide I want a little go, but I will get fit and see how we go from there."
