Kevin Nolan hoping for "positive news" on prospective Liam Noble transfer

Kevin Nolan has confirmed that Notts County have made another offer for Forest Green Rovers captain Liam Noble and is hoping for "positive news".

The Magpies have been chasing their former player for a number of months but the newly-promoted Football League club is playing hardball.

Nolan says the matter is now out of his hands, but is hoping the club can seal the midfielder's return to Meadow Lane.

"An offer has gone in and we are waiting to hear back from Forest Green," said Nolan.

"Hopefully it will be positive news but if it's not, we will then see where we go.

"The negotiations have gone quite far, but I've given the club my target and hopefully the chief executive can get it over the line. That's all we are asking now.

"But I don't want to speak too much about him, because he's not our player and I want to respect Mark Cooper (Forest Green manager) and Forest Green."
