Notts County signs Port Vale goalkeeper Aidan Stone on a free transfer

I'm really excited about the signing of Aidan Stone as our new goalkeeper. The fact that he played a crucial role in Port Vale's promotion last season shows that he knows how to perform under pressure.

It's great to see Notts bringing in a goalkeeper who has both experience and potential. Stone's ability to distribute the ball well with both feet will definitely be an asset to our team.

Welcome to Notts County, Aidan Stone! I hope you settle in quickly and showcase your abilities on the pitch. We're excited to have you as part of our team.

it all reads very promising and i hope that he enjoys playing for notts when he gets the chance. i hope either he or brooks will start certain cup games as that could be a great way to see how they do.

It's always exciting to see young talents like Aidan Stone making their mark in the football world. His achievements at such a young age are impressive, and I can't wait to see what he can do for Notts County.

He sounds like he has a good background and is at the right age to be emotionally ready for first-team football. I hope he has the attitude to bounce back from setbacks, unlike what we saw with Ross Fitzsimons. He will have to compete with Tiernan Brooks and Sam Slocombe for a starting spot.

It’s a promising signing; reserve keepers tend to be good enough to fill in and that’s that. He’s 23, so he has room to develop further and will have time to become a regular starter. I don’t see it as being a knock on Brooks; I hope it pushes him to do better than Aidan Stone.

I’m not swayed by who he’s played under or with; I’m more interested in his own abilities and I’m mindful of when clubs dress up players of a young age. All the previous signings have spoken for themselves, so I’m a little sceptical of this signing for the reasons I mentioned.

Tom Weal is a good judge of ability and I’m sure he will have looked at this keeper and helped the board, along with Luke Williams, to make a decision. As a backup, he might only play cup games and the odd match, so he’ll have to take whatever time comes his way.

I understand that this signing might not be as thrilling as the others, but he seems like a player that we can get something out of and I believe the coaching team will help him. It’s interesting that he used to be a defender; I would hope his communication and understanding of defending would help him keep the defence alert.

It all sounds promising. There seems to be a keeper within Aidan Stone; it’s just a case of getting it out of him.

Some Port Vale fans have expressed that he starts off well, but gradually becomes poor over time and concedes more than he saves. A lot of their fans are simply not bothered he was released. This either suggests we are taking a punt signing him or he just had a difficult time in his later stay with Port Vale. Good luck to him.

Stone's journey from playing in defence as a youngster to becoming a goalkeeper shows his versatility and adaptability. I'm confident that these qualities will serve him well at Notts County.
