Kevin Nolan has admitted that letting Liam Walker leave Notts County was a tough decision but could not stand in his way after being given an opportunity to play elsewhere. The Gibraltar international left Meadow Lane on Monday having had his contract terminated by mutual consent, having made just 19 appearances this season and failing to make the squad altogether in recent weeks. "Liam got given an opportunity to go elsewhere," Nolan told the Nottingham Post. "He rang the club and asked if he could go to pastures new and I didn’t want to stand in the lad’s way. "He’s been a fantastic pro and just didn’t get the opportunities he would have liked and that’s because I thought there were players ahead of him in the team. "He’s got great quality and I know wherever he goes he’ll do well because of the way he is. "I didn’t want to take that opportunity away from him because football’s a funny world and in two weeks’ time that opportunity might not have been there for him. "I had to make a tough decision and I think is for the best for Liam and for us moving forward. "I don’t know all the ins and outs of where he’s heading next, but I said for as long as he is here then he is more than welcome to come and use the facilities, and if he needs to train. "We can either put him with the lads or with the younger group. It was unfortunate for Liam because I think he expected a bit more than when he signed, but that’s the way football goes. "But I wish him well and good luck in the future because I believe he will go somewhere and succeed."

Notts County have announced that Gibraltar international Liam Walker has left the club. The 30-year-old joined the Magpies last summer from Gibraltar Premier Division outfit Europa FC. Walker has made 19 appearances this season but has found himself on the fringes of the team and in recent weeks struggled even to make the bench. Notts confirmed the news of Walker's contract being terminated by mutual consent on Monday afternoon, stating that he had left "with immediate effect to pursue opportunities elsewhere". Manager Kevin Nolan also left a brief message for the midfielder. “Everyone at Meadow Lane would like to thank Liam for all his efforts this season," Nolan was quoted as saying. "We wish him all the best for the future.” Share your thoughts about this news story on Pride of Nottingham by signing up to the website, visiting the forum and joining in the chat with hundreds of fellow Notts County fans.

Notts County midfielder Liam Walker has written himself into Gibraltar's history as his late goal against Latvia gave the British Overseas Territory their first ever win as a FIFA nation. Gibraltar and Latvia faced off in a friendly on Sunday at Victoria Park, the first time the stadium hosted their country's football team in two years. The last game on the Rock was against the same opposition, on 29 March 2016, and the result on that day was a 5-0 hammering for Gibraltar. However, the small nation put in a much improved performance against the Baltic nation, which reached the finals of Euro 2004. Despite a number of setbacks for Gibraltar leading up into the game in terms of injuries, including one to star man Joseph Chipolina in the warm-up, Desi Curry's side were not to be thwarted. Walker, Gibraltar's record cap holder with 29, curled in a deflected free kick with 88 minutes on the clock to send the crowd into raptures and seal a 1-0 triumph. It was not only Gibraltar's second ever win as a UEFA nation (following their win over Malta in 2014), it was their first as a FIFA nation, their first success on home soil, and their first win for four years. And Walker is now his country's top scorer - with three goals!

Kevin Nolan has praised Notts County trialist Liam Walker and admits that he and his coaches will have discussions over the next few days over potentially offering the midfielder a contract. The 29-year-old, a Gibraltar international, represented Europa FC in his home nation and scored 15 goals in 26 appearances for them last season. In addition, Walker has played for Lincoln Red Imps and was part of the team that claimed a shock 1-0 win over Celtic in July 2016, and has also represented Portsmouth. Walker played in Wednesday’s defeat to Nottingham Forest and figured again in the 2-1 loss to Wigan Athletic on Saturday, and Nolan had kind words to say about him. “Liam did well again and we will have a chat with him over the next 24-48 hours,” he is quoted as saying by the Nottingham Post. “We will see where his head is at and see if something can be done. It’s another midfielder who can come in and push the lads who were here already. “I will talk to Thommo (Richard Thomas, assistant manager) and Norm (Mark Crossley, coach) as we’ve all been impressed with what we’ve seen. Then we will speak to Liam and his dad who has been over with him.” Share your thoughts about this news story on Pride of Nottingham by signing up to the website, visiting the forum and joining in the chat with hundreds of fellow Notts County fans.
