Notts County to keep tabs on hat-trick trialist Will Mellors-Blair

Notts County assistant manager Mark Crossley has promised to keep an eye out on striker Will Mellors-Blair after the trialist netted a hat-trick against Linby in the Magpies' first pre-season friendly.

The 23-year-old, who was born in Nottingham and has played college football in the United States on a scholarship, helped Notts to a 7-0 win on Saturday, with Adam Campbell, Jordan Richards, Jordan Snodin and Montel Gibson also on the scoresheet.

Crossley played down the former Walsall academy prospect's impact, telling reporters: "He was a recommendation and he is only here for a week. The manager has said we will have a look at him and he is another lad who has come in and impressed.

"We will see a bit more when we play stronger opposition and against more physical players."
