Kevin Nolan eager to renew acquaintances with ex-Notts County loanee Marc Bola

Kevin Nolan has expressed his eagerness to catch up with former Notts County loanee Marc Bola when the Magpies host Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup on November 3.

The Arsenal full-back joined Notts on loan at the start of January and made 13 appearances as the club survived relegation from League Two.

Now on loan at the Memorial Stadium, Bola is expected to line up for Rovers as they travel to Meadow Lane for the first round of the world's oldest cup competition.

“I am really looking forward to the game and seeing Boles again,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post.

“I was really pleased to get him on the last day of the January window last season and he came here and did well.

“I think he learned a lot given what he was doing playing academy football and being in those luscious surroundings that he would have at Arsenal.

“He came here and cracked on. He had a fantastic back end to the season and got a really good move to Bristol Rovers.

“I wish him well and I hope he is playing when he comes back here. It will be nice to see him and I hope that Jorge Grant, Terry Hawkridge, Liam Walker or Lewis Alessandra gets the better of him.”
