Kevin Nolan: 'Terry Hawkridge had to bide his time and has worked hard'

Kevin Nolan was left pleased with Terry Hawkridge's goal in Notts County's draw at Cheltenham Town and hailed the winger's perseverence in biding his time and seizing his first-team chance.

The former Lincoln City man has seen little game action in recent weeks but made the starting XI at Whaddon Road and repaid his manager's faith with his side's goal.

"It's been while for him and Terry has had to bide his time because of the quality we have in the squad," Nolan told the Nottingham Post after the game, which finished 1-1 after Joe Morrell levelled for the hosts.

"He has worked hard and played fantastically well against Stevenage last week and he has put another great performance in tonight.

"It was a fantastic finish and a fantastic goal but unfortunately we couldn't add to it with the fantastic chances we created."
