Lewis Alessandra: 'my instincts told me I will be successful at Notts County'

Notts County's latest signing Lewis Alessandra feels his instincts told him he will be successful with Notts after he became the clubs second signing of the summer.

The Magpies secured the services of the wide-man from Hartlepool United on a two-year deal after fending off serious competition from Port Vale and successfully agreeing terms for a five-figure fee for his services.

Alessandra says he is also keen to experience success at the club and believes he has found the right club in order to fulfil his ambitions.

"We've just got to start the season well and go from there, you don't want to be playing catch-up."

"If you can keep the good players fit then you never know what can happen. If you look at Notts' form since the gaffer came in then you'd like to think we can do well."

"But I am at an age now where I am 28 and want to be successful."

"That was probably one of the main reasons why I came here because my instinct told me that I will be successful here."

Notts County still target Forest playmaker Jorge Grant as a summer recruit, with Magpies' chairman Alan Hardy stating his desire to see Grant return to Meadow Lane.
