Stephen McLaughlin Joins On Loan


Chris

Irish born Stephen McLaughlin has joined Notts County after agreeing an initial month’s loan deal from neighbours Nottingham Forest.

The 24-year-old started his career with League of Ireland outfit Finn Harps back in 2009 before making a move to fellow Irish side Derry City.

McLaughlin then signed for Nottingham Forest on the 3rd of January 2013, with a reported fee of around £160,000 having been paid to acquire his services.

He had a short spell at League One promotion chasers Bristol City back in 2013, but under Stuart Pearce, McLaughlin has made four appearances from the bench and a further two as a first team player.

He's held with high regard by the former England Under 21 manager, who has helped to spearhead his role with the Reds into a more prominent one within the first team.

McLaughlin featured as part of the Forest team that played Tottenham in the Capital One Cup last week where, after taking the lead, they went on to lose 3-1 at White Hart Lane.

If he plays opposite to Adams and we stick with a similar back four, this signing could improve the creativity which we so desperately need.

I'm happy with the signing myself, it sounds very promising by what I've been told. If we can get the most out of him, so I can see us extending his loan length. I don't see him quite breaking into Forest side yet, we could be that door for him.

SD didn't waste any time replacing your last loan player.This could be beneficial for both the player and Notts.

Watched him Stephen play a couple of times last season for forest and seen him a couple of times this season. Hes got pace he plays the right pass and has a eye for goal ( scored some corkers for forest U21s).


 


He will give the pies that bit of xtra flair.

I'm not usually in favour of bringing in players from over the Trent, but after watching Louis Lang lets hope he's as good and will bring that bit extra to the squad.
