Ross Fitzsimons seals Notts County move after successful trial

Notts County have announced the signing of former Crystal Palace and Bolton Wanderers goalkeeper Ross Fitzsimons.

The 23-year-old, who was most recently at National League side Chelmsford City, joins after a successful trial, with the contract length undisclosed.

He told the official Notts County site: "I'm really pleased to get the deal over the line. It's a great setup here.

"Mark Crossley has a very effective way of coaching and I have picked up a lot from him. He's very respected within the game and I am looking forward to working with him more this season.

"Adam Collin and I get on really well and there is a lot of respect between us. Hopefully I can push him all the way for the place between the sticks.

"When the opportunity came up to come on trial here I snapped at it. I really like the city already and this is a massive, traditional club.

"With all of the work going on behind the scenes it's an exciting time to be a Notts County player."
