New contract: Slocombe

Experienced keeper extends stay

Sam Slocombe has become the second out-of-contract player to commit his future to us.

The 34-year-old goalkeeper has signed a new two-year deal, following in the footsteps of fellow long-serving Magpie Connell Rawlinson.

And both Luke Williams and our board of directors look forward to welcoming him back to Meadow Lane in pre-season.

A statement reads: “Sam, like Connell, is such a valuable asset to us on and off the field.

“He’s an immensely experienced goalkeeper who has demonstrated his quality and consistency over his four years at the club.

“The role Sam played in last season’s promotion cannot be underestimated. He was a vital component in our team and many of the outstanding performances we produced would not have been possible without him.

“Equally importantly, he’s one of the best professionals you could ever wish to have in your squad. The way he conducts himself day in, day out is exemplary and we see him as the perfect role model for our younger players.

“We’ve enjoyed open and constructive dialogue with Sam over the summer to explain our intention to bring in a new, senior goalkeeper to work alongside him and Tiernan Brooks.

“We see this as an important element of our long-term squad development and Sam fully understands our position.

“We know he will continue to drive high standards from those around him and provide extremely tough competition for a place in our starting line-up.”

 

Good news, Super Sam has agreed a new deal.

 

Good news! This gives us a solid option hl between the sticks. He could do with competition though. 

Having Sam Slocombe in any capacity at Notts County is a massive plus for the team. Not only can he provide leadership and guidance for younger keepers like Tom Weal, but his experience and quality on the pitch are invaluable. Tiernan Brooks, who may find himself as the first choice keeper this season, will certainly benefit from Slocombe's tutelage. However, let's not forget the contribution that Slocombe made in the team's promotion campaign. He played a significant role in the team's success and proved himself to be a reliable and competent keeper at our level.

It's absolutely brilliant to have Sam on board, I think some supporters have severely underestimated his capabilities, and while there might be wobbly moments here and there, he's leagues ahead of other keepers we've had in the past. I mean, just compare him to the likes of Ross Fitzsimons - no contest, really. Top stuff, that. So, let's get behind Sam and give him our full support!

Great news! I am pleased that we have the keeper position sorted. If Luke Williams plans to bring in another, do be it. Yet I think Sam Slocombe is good enough to keep the first place in the team.

hes good enough for league two and has experience we need, i doubt we could get better. a younger keeper takes time to bring through and we have slocombe to help brooks do just that.

Very happy with Sam signing and the fact that we are looking for another keeper to challenge for the position. Sam has weaknesses to his game but he is still a solid keeper for League Two and knows the system.

Now expecting Jim to be announced tomorrow and 1 of the main 3 (Cameron?) on Friday. Anyone not agreeing this week will probably be leaving as we cannot hang on forever for a decision.

What a fantastic achievement for Notts County to have secured the services of Sam Slocombe! As an outstanding goalkeeper and key player for the team, his contribution on the pitch is invaluable. But his impact extends far beyond his skills as a player. Sam is also a wonderful person and a leader both on and off the pitch.

The fact that he has chosen to sign a new contract with the club is a testament to his worth and commitment to Notts County. I am absolutely ecstatic that he will be staying with us and I have no doubt that he will continue to be an integral part of our success in the future.

Great to see Sam is staying for awhile longer he is one of my favourites in the team by far.

I am happy that Sam Slocombe has agreed to a new deal. Two years seems to be the standard, but it does mean we have plenty of time to bring through Tiernan Brooks or to find a new number one.

I believe that one of the key things he brings to the team is stability at the back. For some time now, Notts has struggled to retain a group of players capable of forming a cohesive squad. This is particularly true when it comes to the defence. Ideally, all we need is for Aaron Nemane and Kyle Cameron to commit to the team. I am extremely pleased that Sam Slocombe has agreed to a new two-year deal.

At this level, we are fortunate to have someone as well-rounded as Sam Slocombe in the goalkeeper department. He may not be perfect, but he is a reliable shot-stopper with safe hands. If we compare him to other keepers in League Two or the National League, we can see that any of them are capable of making mistakes.

I am delighted to hear this news. Sam is a good keeper who always gives his all. If we were to bring in someone to challenge him for his position, it would need to be another experienced keeper. That being said, I am more than happy with Sam between the sticks.

I am thankful that Sam has decided to stay with us. In my opinion, he is one of the best goalkeepers in the league and has consistently demonstrated his skill on the pitch. Not only is he an exceptional player, but he is also a fantastic mentor for the younger members of the team and a true professional in every sense of the word. I have high hopes that he will be able to help us regain our rightful place in the league.
