Shola Ameobi: 'Notts County on the cusp of something great'

Shola Ameobi has claimed that Notts County are on the "cusp of something great" and says it influenced his decision to remain at Meadow Lane.

The former Newcastle United striker signed on a free transfer in January and played a key role in the Magpies' bid to climb away from relegation last season.

Now the 35-year-old, who penned a new deal at the club in the summer, believes he is in the correct environment to make further progress in the upcoming campaign as Kevin Nolan's team target League Two glory.

"The fans have really been behind the team and myself from the get-go," he told the Nottingham Post.

"I felt the love from everyone, not just from the guys who feed us at the club, but right to the fans as well.

"I truly believe, that for me certainly, I have to be in the right atmosphere. If you are then it puts you in the best position to win.

"I felt that from day one. The manager has helped create that with the team and the lads all being together.

"I wanted to come back because I think we are on the cusp of something great."
