Rob Milsom delighted with award-winning displays after struggling in first Notts County season

Rob Milsom has expressed his delight with putting a frustrating first season for Notts County behind him.

The 30-year-old has impressed in midfield in 2016-17 and was rewarded with the Fans' Player of the Year and the Players' Player of the Year awards.

Milsom is happy with having secured the accolades, but more so because of redemption after an indifferent, injury-disrupted maiden season at Meadow Lane.

"I've come a long way because I struggled in the first season," the 2015 signing from Rotherham United told the Nottingham Post.

"That was down to the injury which happened just a month or two after I signed. It never really went away and I was playing through a knock half the time.

"But I wanted to come back determined to make an impression this season and show people what I can do.

"I know it wasn't good enough in the first season so I was really champing at the bit. It was really frustrating, but it's all behind me now. Everything is fine and I just want to keep kicking on."
