Mark Yeates wants to remain at Notts County past end of season

Mark Yeates has confirmed that he wants to stay on at Notts County past the end of the season and admits several other out-of-contract players do too.

The former Blackpool winger signed for the Magpies in January on a short-term deal which expires in the summer, alongside those of the majority of the players.

Yeates, who will face his former club on Saturday, says he gets on really well with manager Kevin Nolan and would sign a contract if it were put in front of him.

"The gaffer and I get on really well and I am sure we will sit down at some point," he told the Nottingham Post. "I am not the only one, there are quite a few boys he wants to speak to as well.

"All I can say is that it's a great club and I've really enjoyed it. We've done what the gaffer set out to, which is to keep the club in the division.

"Everybody can give themselves a pat on the back, but as for myself, I am not 100 percent sure what will happen.

"I've enjoyed it immensely. It's a great club and I've made some good mates. My relationship with the gaffer is one of the best I've had for a long time.

"If something was to be put in front of me then I would like to stay."
