Kevin Nolan reassured Notts County fans squad will be strengthened the right way

Kevin Nolan has reassured Notts County fans that the squad will be strengthened with players who will not only make the team competitive in League Two, but who will be at Meadow Lane for the full season.

The Magpies have been relatively quiet in the transfer window so far, with Terry Hawkridge and Lewis Alessandra the only two acquisitions, although every player who was already on the books and offered a new deal has renewed their stay.

Some fans have expressed concern at the lack of new blood in the team, with local rivals Mansfield Town signing a glut of new players, but Nolan insists that there is a lot of hard work still to be done prior to the end of the window.

He told the official Notts site: "We are working hard to ensure we get a number of quality players in.

"We are trying to find out if certain people are available and if they want to come here but, like last season, there will be nobody here who does not want to be here.

"If someone does not want to be here then they will be shown the door and the players we bring in will want to come here, work with us and be a part of this fantastic football club which is going in the right direction.

"We have a few targets and hopefully a few gems up our sleeve but there is still a lot of hard work to do.

"We have a couple of lads coming in to be a part of the training squad so there will be some unknown faces but we are trying to get a squad which will be here for the season and be capable of making sure we compete in the division."
