Notts County have secured a major boost with star winger Jodi Jones signing a new contract that will keep him at Meadow Lane until June 2027.
The 26-year-old, who set a record with 24 assists in League Two last season, has agreed to extend his stay with the Magpies, cementing his place as a key figure in the club's future plans. Jones' exceptional form, which earned him Player of the Year honours from both the PFA and EFL, has continued into this season, with three assists and two goals in his first four matches.
The news has been warmly received by the club’s board of directors, who praised the player’s impact since joining on loan from Oxford United in the National League.
“Jodi’s performances and achievements speak for themselves,” a club statement read. “We’re naturally delighted that he’s accepted our offer of a new contract. Since joining us, Jodi has given us many special moments to cherish, and we’ve no doubt that there are many more to come.”
Head coach Stuart Maynard was equally enthusiastic about the deal, emphasising the importance of Jones’ consistency and versatility.
“He brings so much quality week in, week out,” said Maynard. “That consistency is reflected in the number of assists he’s provided for us. He’s also becoming more of a goal threat, which is something we spoke about when I first arrived.”
Jones has adapted well to playing on the right wing this season, according to Maynard, with his ability to go both ways causing problems for opposition defenders.
“Opposition teams are really struggling to get near him. Out on the right, he’s much harder to trap, whereas on the left, teams would often try to double up on him.”
Maynard also praised Jones’ improvements on the defensive side of his game, pointing to a recent performance at Swindon as a prime example.
“We all know that wasn’t our most fluent team performance, but Jodi played a massive part in helping us grind out the win. He’s taken that part of his game to new levels.”
With this new contract in place, Notts County fans can look forward to more of the magic Jones brings on the pitch, as the club continues to build around their star player.
