Liam Noble wants Notts County to aim for promotion next season

Former Notts County midfielder Liam Noble has wished the Magpies all the best and urged them to get promotion next season.

The ex-Carlisle United man was released at the end of the 2015-16 campaign but says he will continue to keep an eye on his former team whenever he gets the chance.

Noble is quoted by the Nottingham Post as saying: "I had two years with the club and have a lot of love for the place and the people there," he said.

"Two of my best mates, Adam Campbell and Elliott Hewitt, are still there and I will come back to watch whenever I get the chance.

"The people who work behind the scenes – they are lovely people.

"I had some great times and the fans were brilliant with me. I know I let them down a few times, but I had a good relationship with the supporters.

"It is time to move on but I will be keeping a close eye on the results. John Sheridan is a great appointment and I don't see any reason why they can't go on and get promotion next season.

"One of my favourite memories was the season when we defied expectations and went on that unbelievable run to the top of League One under Shaun (Derry) and Greg (Abbott).

"To be honest though I had a lot of good times there and I wish them all the best for next season."
