Kevin Nolan: 'Jorge Grant is a special kind of player'

Kevin Nolan has reiterated that Jorge Grant is a special talent as he continues to conjure up the magic for Notts County.

The 23-year-old loanee registered his 14th goal of the campaign on Saturday as he helped the Magpies into the third round of the FA Cup.

In the second-round meeting with Oxford City, Grant was perfectly placed in the box to smash home a rebounded shot in the 94th minute for a 3-2 win.

“We speak to Jorge about it, it just comes to him in the box. It’s not him being lucky, it’s having a nous to be able to do that,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post.

“For me, that’s what he is. He’s a special kind of player because even if he’s not having a major impact on the game, he can pop up with something.

“He’s the furthest one out of the box and he’s the one who ends up scoring a goal and it’s a testament to what he does and the work he does on the training ground and he’s getting better and better.
