From Nottm Post:

Alan Sheehan willing to rejoin Notts County after being told he can leave Bradford City on loan.

Alan Sheehan is open to a return to Notts County.

The Irishman has been told he can leave Bradford City on loan, which has put a number of League One clubs on alert for the former Magpies captain, who has just made his comeback from injury.

And the Post understands he would be more than willing to rejoin the Magpies, having made it clear they are the only League Two club he would join having helped inspire their 'Great Escape' under Shaun Derry in the 2013/14 season.

Notts' defence is currently under intense scrutiny, and the Magpies are currently playing without an authentic left-back, with Blair Adams and Rhys Sharpe currently out of favour.

Sheehan was a hugely popular character with the fans during the 'Great Escape' campaign when he helped lead the team clear of relegation.

He was crowned player of the season, having played 44 times and scored seven goals as Derry's side stayed up against all the odds.

Bradford then swooped for Sheehan, who can also play at centre-back, at the end of that season and handed the former Leeds United defender a two-year contract.

He made 31 appearances in his first season at the Bantams, scoring once.

And he has played three times so far this campaign and delivered an impressive performance on each occasion, but boss Phil Parkinson has decided he can leave the club on loan.

Good player for us and gave all to the cause in the great escape season. Really disliked his handling of the wage thing though and being honest, are there better cbs out there? I'm sure we could sort the left back out ourselves. We need a quality commanding centre back (s) for me.

he isn't in bradfords plans at all didn't Parkinson say he can leave on loan or permanently as I don't think they will be renewing his contract

He is better than the shower of casualties that Moniz & Branston have saddled us with!

However, the prospects of Sheehan returning here are beyond slight - hard to see it happening. The manner of his departure would, surely, preclude him returning under the present ownership, and rightly so. I liked him and he'd be fine as a player tbh but he ain't coming IMO, forget him.

according to Leigh Curtis he is training with us today see his Twitter

Do Bradford want a swap? Audel/Adams/Sharpe for Sheez

we also apparently have trailist repeat APPARENTLY not deffo that's another one goin around no one knows who positions etc

Mark Stallard said on Tuesday night, there was supposed to be a 'done deal' but it wasn't completed on time.

It seems there may be something more to this but, we will have to wait and see. It looked very much like a rumour at one stage, we discuss this within the PONcast which I hope to get up at some stage.

Tweeted that he has signed. Welcome back Sheez

Welcome Back Alan.

 

Show umwhat your made of.

Well, that would be some turnaround - for both parties.

I'd be delighted if he signs, or has signed, he is miles better than the assorted tripe Moniz has saddled us with - and Hollis!

Hollis is improving with each game he plays, we need to get off his back and show him some support, having Sheehan alongside him should help him progress further.

I'm not sure moniz signed all this tripe the Dutch ones deffo but who signed Audel sharpe Campbell etc it's a panel don't think moniz knew of some of these players at all

I can't believe all this tripe crap, have you been to the games?, not always the result we want, but we have signed some very talented players for league 2 level, and I am confident we will end up being a very good team. Champions come May would not surprise me,

Hollis is improving with each game he plays, we need to get off his back and show him some support, having Sheehan alongside him should help him progress further.

My thoughts exactly.
