Liam Noble: "My head is in the right place now"

Liam Noble has stressed that his "head is in the right place now" as he prepares to begin his second spell at Notts County.

The midfielder was known as somewhat of a loose cannon in his first spell at Meadow Lane due to his temper and tendency to accumulate cards.

Noble then left for Forest Green Rovers in 2016 helping them reach the Football League, before leaving the club earlier this year and joining the Magpies again.

Now that the transfer window is open again, Noble has been registered as a Notts player and is eligible to start against Brentford in the FA Cup this weekend.

"It's been a long wait but an enjoyable one," he told the official site. "The lads are a great bunch and they have made it easy for me - I have bedded in quite well.

"I played a game against Leicester recently and got 90 minutes under my belt so I'm feeling really good. I'm raring to go. Hopefully I can make the squad on Saturday.

"There will always be that question about my temperament and the red cards but last season I didn't get sent off and I played almost 50 games.

"My head is in the right place now. I have settled down family-wise and I am much more mature.

"But I still have the cutting edge, the bite and the fire to want to win, like any player does. I just know how to control it more."
