Richard Duffy would like to stay at Notts County

Richard Duffy has praised Kevin Nolan for helping improve his game and says he wants to remain at Notts County past the end of the season.

In January, the defender agreed to waive a clause in his contract that would have automatically triggered a one-year extension at Meadow Lane, with the club's League Two future in the balance at the time.

His contract now runs out at the end of the season, but his performances improved since Nolan's arrival, helping the club survive in the Football League.

Now Duffy insists he is hoping to be granted a new deal, telling the Nottingham Post: “I would like to stay.

“When I agreed to the clause being removed from my contract earlier in the season, and while it wasn't something I wanted, it's something I had to sacrifice for the sake of playing and the team.

“But it's down to the club, the manager and chairman as to what happens next.

“I feel as if I have picked up since the manager has come in and, like everybody here, played to a standard I know I can."

    Duffy hasn't convinced me that he's deserving of a new deal.

    I would hope that we can find better, with Hollis likely to be around - I just don't feel we can afford to keep Duffy as a backup up because I think he'll end up spending most of his time out of the squad next season. If he manages to retain a place, this would say a lot about the quality of signings made.

    We need better, much better.

    i trust nolan to weed out the players who wont step up to the level we require next season. for the most part duffy is okay, if he focuses and settles down then i would not be against him remaining.
