Notts County academy manager Mick Halsall quits Meadow Lane

Notts County have revealed that academy manager Mick Halsall is leaving the club after two years at Meadow Lane.

The 55-year-old initially joined the Magpies in 2014 as head of academy coaching before stepping into his academy manager role last September.

Current head of academy coaching Dan Leivers will take interim charge of the academy while Halsall's position is advertised.

"We are all very sorry to be losing Mick, who has done an excellent job with our academy and is a fantastic character to have around," Notts chief executive Jason Turner said on the club's official website.

"On behalf of everyone at Notts County I would like to wish him every success in his future career."

Halsall has also had two separate spells in caretaker charge of the Magpies first team, stepping in when Shaun Derry and then Ricardo Moniz were sacked.
