Louis Laing happy to help assist as well as score for Notts County

Notts County loanee Louis Laing is delighted in being able to contribute to his side's success, whether by keeping clean sheets, scoring or providing assists.

The 23-year-old played a hand in both Magpies goals away at Hartlepool United on Saturday, scoring the leveller before setting up Jon Stead for the winner.

Laing told reporters: "I am trying to think back if I have scored in England before, but I haven't, so that's something to celebrate.

"I had a hand in the second goal as well, which was nice too. The space opened up for me and I just thought I would drive into it.

"I think that's one of my strengths, that when I see space I can step into it.

"I was about to pull the trigger myself actually, but thankfully I didn't. It would have been nice to score two, but it was great to help Steady to get a goal."

The 2-1 victory over Hartlepool is Notts County's first win this season.
