Richard Dryden has played down reports of Alan Smith leaving Notts County, insisting that he is still in the squad for now.
Plymouth Argyle have reportedly offered Smith a deal until the end of next season, with the 35-year-old keen to extend his playing career before moving into coaching.
A photo emerged on Wednesday of what appeared to be Smith walking alongside Pilgrims manager Derek Adams in the Devon city.
Dryden, however, told reporters on Thursday: "Alan is in the squad.
"Alan is Alan. He comes in and works hard, people look up to him as a leader.
"He's going to be involved with us from now until the end of the season hopefully. I take it he is still going to be here."
Do you want Alan Smith to remain part of the Notts team, or are you happy to see him head to the South West? Visit the Pride of Nottingham forum and join the conversation.
