Kevin Nolan signs new three-year deal at Notts County

Notts County have announced that manager Kevin Nolan has signed a new three-year contract with the club.

The 35-year-old helped the Magpies avoid relegation last season following his appointment in January, turning around a side that had lost 10 games on the trot.

This season, Nolan overcame a 3-0 defeat at Coventry City on the opening day of the season to steer Notts to second in League Two, boasting an eight-game unbeaten run.

In addition, Notts have won their last four league games and not conceded a single goal in any of those.

Magpies owner Alan Hardy told the official Notts site: "Kevin has brought real pride, optimism and stability to this club which has not been seen for many years.

"Kevin has to keep the players' feet on the ground."

Assistant manager Richard Thomas and first-team coach Mark Crossley have also signed new deals with the club.

"It was an easy decision to make which is why I have been so comfortable talking about it in recent weeks," said Nolan.

"I'm delighted that Richard and Mark will be staying with me. We have a solid backroom staff here.

"I was confident of keeping the club up and getting it into a stable position this year so we can kick on in the future."
