Notts County sign Michael O'Connor from Port Vale

Joe Jones

By Joe Jones

Notts County have completed the signing of midfielder Michael O'Connor on a two-year contract.

Former Northern Ireland international O'Connor, who turned down the offer of a new deal at Port Vale, is the Magpies' sixth signing of the close season.

The 28-year-old started out at Crewe Alexandra before spells at Scunthorpe United, Rotherham United and Vale, who he joined in the summer of 2014.

O'Connor has made a total of 267 league appearances, scoring 51 goals, and has played 11 times for Northern Ireland.

"With the signings we have made already we are going to have a go at going up into League One next year," O'Connor said.

"I've signed a two-year deal and in that time I don't just want to get the club into League One, I want to get them into the Championship."

In addition to O'Connor, Notts have signed Adam Collin, Matt Tootle, Alex Rodman, Richard Duffy and Carl Dickinson since the end of the 2015-16 season.

Hard working player, exactly the type of player we have lacked previous seasons - I hope he manages to prove himself here. We should have a good player who can aid is in any attempts of gaining promotion.

Striker next please.

Looking good for Notts ATM, a proper manager in charge, really good signings, dead wood gone, a promotion winning campaign awaits methinks. O'Connor is a proper box to box midfielder who scores goals, essential to any promotion winning side, now get a goalscorer or two & you're sorted.
