The 23-year-old, on loan at Notts County from Nottingham Forest, has scored 18 goals and claimed eight assists in 50 games in all competition this term.

Jorge Grant has admitted that his future depends on parent club Nottingham Forest, but says he has loved every minute at Notts County, describing it as a great club that is moving forward. The 22-year-old has become a fan favourite at Meadow Lane with his impressive performances and five goals in black and white. His contract at the City Ground runs out in the summer and, though he is unable to clarify his future at present, admitted that his agent is talking to Forest to "see what hap

Jorge Grant has spoken of how a stressful week ended on a positive note thanks to football. The Notts County midfielder, who has recently got on the housing ladder, had to deal with flooding in his home due to plumbing issues. However, you wouldn't have known due to his impressive performance on the pitch, scoring twice to help Notts beat Cheltenham Town 3-1 and keep the Magpies top of League Two. “The drain is fixed which is good news, but there are a lot more problems than I exp

Jorge Grant has revealed that he turned down offers from the Scottish Premiership and from League One to link up again with Notts County. The 22-year-old was a revelation at Meadow Lane last season after joining on loan from Nottingham Forest, quickly becoming a fan favourite and helping the Magpies survive relegation. He told the official Notts website: "I'm absolutely buzzing. As soon as I knew I was going out on loan, the only place I was going to go was here. "I had a few offe

Notts County have announced the return of Nottingham Forest midfielder Jorge Grant to Meadow Lane on a season-long loan. The 22-year-old joined the Magpies on loan from across the Trent in January last year, with Kevin Nolan's side struggling near League Two's bottom two. Grant made 17 appearances and scored six goals to give Notts a huge shot in the arm and ended up surviving in the Football League with several games to spare. As a reward, he was offered a new three-year contract

Jorge Grant has admitted that Notts County’s impressive start to the season has exceeded everyone's expectations, but has stressed the importance of not letting complacency slip in. The Magpies have cemented their hold on second place in League Two thanks to a fourth win - and clean sheet - in a row, with Crawley Town the latest side to succumb to defeat against Notts. Grant, who scored the winner on Saturday, has echoed manager Kevin Nolan's sentiments in playing down their great form

Jorge Grant has reiterated how much he is enjoying his time at Notts County after parent club Nottingham Forest confirmed they would not be recalling him in January. The 23-year-old, who played a big part in the Magpies surviving in League Two last season, has picked up where he left off in 2017-18, his 14 goals so far helping the club to the upper spots in the table and to the third round of the FA Cup. There had been concern over whether Grant's superb form would prompt Forest to rec

Jorge Grant feels he has come a long way as a footballer since first arriving on loan at Notts County. The 23-year-old, who is on the books of Nottingham Forest, linked up with the Magpies at the start of the year and played a big part in helping the club survive relegation from League Two. A new loan deal was subsequently agreed for Grant at the start of the current campaign and the youngster continues to impress, claiming seven goals and two assists so far in the league. “I thin

Jorge Grant is delighted with the way Notts County are playing at the minute, saying they're doing the basics right and taking their chances up front. The Magpies cemented their hold on second place in League Two after claiming a fourth consecutive win - and fourth consecutive clean sheet - at Crawley Town on Saturday. Grant scored the only goal of the game in the 1-0 win at the Broadfield Stadium and, as well as praising the team as a whole, he also feels that he is growing up as a pl

Jorge Grant has claimed that Notts County are not "that far away" from enjoying a promotion feast like Portsmouth did when they came to Meadow Lane on Monday. The Magpies slipped to a 3-1 defeat against the South Coast side, whose ascent out of League Two was confirmed thanks to their win combined with Luton Town's failure to beat Mansfield Town. Grant, who is on loan from Nottingham Forest, believes that Notts can take this season's form into the following campaign, with Kevin Nolan a

Jorge Grant says he has "improved so much as a player and as a person" following his loan spell at Notts County. The Nottingham Forest attacker has enjoyed two bright loan spells at Meadow Lane, in the second half of the 2016-17 campaign and the entirery of last season. With County's 2017-18 campaign now over, Grant has returned over the Trent but posted some kind comments about the club and the fans. “Big thanks to everyone at Notts County for the last 18 months,” the 23-year-old

Jorge Grant has claimed that his season at Notts County has gone better than expected and insists he is close to reaching his individual targets. The Magpies midfielder, on loan from Nottingham Forest, scored his 18th goal of the season last weekend as he came off the bench to help inspire a 2-0 win over Stevenage. Grant scored 16 goals before Christmas but then experienced a barren run in front of goal which now seems to have been put to bed, but he still feels he can improve. “I

Jorge Grant has admitted that speculation over his future may have been at the back of his mind over the last few weeks. The 23-year-old continues to impress for Notts County, taking his tally for the season to 16 with a brace in the 4-1 win at Morecambe on Boxing Day. Prior to the two goals at the Globe Arena, Grant had not scored in the league since a two-goal haul against Cheltenham Town on November 11. Grant's impact has been so significant at Meadow Lane that the rumour mill

Jorge Grant has described his last-gasp winning goal in the 3-2 FA Cup win over Oxford City as "one of the best feelings" he has experienced in football. The Nottingham Forest loanee struck deep into stoppage time with the scores level and the prospect of a second-round replay looming to put Notts into the third round for the first time in six seasons. Grant, who has been a sensation for the Magpies this season and last, scored his 14th goal of the campaign and was understandably delig

Josh Clackstone says he is happy to be getting first-team football at Notts County and hopes that the experience, as well as the help from older players, will benefit him when he returns to parent club Hull City. The 20-year-old full-back has impressed since his January loan move to Meadow Lane, putting in a good performance in Saturday's goalless draw with Yeovil Town. "They [Hull] wanted me to get games in the league and get used to first team football because I wasn't getting that b

Julie Henshaw's love for Notts County runs deep. Her parents met through supporting the team, with her mother starting to attend games in 1946 and her father joining her after finishing his National Service in 1947. They travelled to away games on what was known as Bill Reynolds' number one bus. "My mum and dad met through supporting Notts," Julie recalls. "Mum started going in 1946, just before they signed Tommy Lawton. Dad was finishing his National Service so didn't start going until 194

Kane Hemmings has revealed his optimism regarding Notts County's aspirations this season. Despite a woeful start to their League Two season which saw them rooted to the bottom of the table, the Magpies have since bounced back in style. “It’s only October and there is a long time to go before the season over,” Hemmings told the Nottingham Post. “There’s 30-odd games to go so there’s definitely no reason why we can’t be involved. “If we can go on a decent run of games unbeaten

Keith Curle has spoken highly of Notts County as his Carlisle United charges prepare to welcome the Magpies to Brunton Park later today, expecting the visitors to be full of confidence and a dangerous proposition. The former Notts manager told the official Cumbrians site: “They’re near the top of the table but if you look at the last four games we’ve had you see we’ve been up against very good teams. “There are no easy games and that’s why our approach to each one is exactly the same.

Keith Curle has today been relieved of his duties as Notts County manager with immediate effect. Notts were disappointing against Hartlepool with the performance not reaching the standard of a team who sat nearly 30 points above then bottom of the league Hartlepool. Notts now look forward in their search for a new manager to replace Curle, and with a few big names jobless at present, speculation will be flooding the media for the next week or two. Being a Notts fan it is not unusual to ex

Keith Curle has claimed that Carlisle United “did enough to get something out of the game” despite being beaten 2-1 by Notts County in midweek. The Magpies, who were desperate to get back on track following defeat to Swansea City in the FA Cup and League Two bottom side Barnet, raced into a two-goal lead by half time through Jon Stead. Although Jamie Devitt halved the deficit on 75 minutes, the Cumbrians couldn't make the most of the remainder of the game, plus seven minutes of injury

Carlisle United manager Keith Curle has admitted that he had to change his usual tactics against Notts County because "we knew we couldn't play them at their game". The Cumbrians took the lead against the Magpies in their League Two encounter on Saturday through Hallam Hope but Kevin Nolan's side left Brunton Park with a point after Ryan Yates struck an equaliser. Assessing his side's performance after the 1-1 draw, Curle said he expected Notts, boasting height all over the pitch, to b
