Notts County owner Alan Hardy hails "star of the future" Kevin Nolan after Manager of the Month nomination

Alan Hardy has described Kevin Nolan as "a star of the future" after the Notts County manager was nominated for September's League Two Manager of the Month award.

The 35-year-led the Magpies to six victories out of seven in the month, including memorable successes against local rivals Lincoln City and fellow high-flyers Exeter City.

A superb month for Notts, only marginally soured by a 3-1 defeat at Mansfield Town right at the end, saw the club enter October at the top of the table.

“He has done an incredible job and the start to the season as I said last week has been absolutely staggering,” Hardy told the Nottingham Post.

“I’ve no doubt in my mind that Kevin will be a star of the future and the way he has led the team since he came here back in January has been magnificent.

“The form over the last month has been absolutely outstanding and he totally deserves this nomination.

“To win six out of seven games is a hell of an achievement and I couldn’t be prouder to see his team and the players sitting at the top of the league.

“It has surpassed all expectation and long may it continue.”
