Defender makes Notts County admission as contract decision revealed

Adam Chicksen has extended his stay at Notts County by agreeing a new one-year contract.

The 30-year-old defender has been with the Magpies since joining in September 2020, and made more than 50 appareances to date. He played 32 in the National League last term, including in the play-off defeat to Grimsby Town at Meadow Lane.

Since then, head coach Ian Burchnall has left the club to take charge of Forest Green Rovers, with Luke Williams appointed as his replacement. And Chicksen has now pledged his future to Notts for the upcoming 2022-23 campaign.

The Magpies said in a statement: "Adam Chicksen has accepted our offer a new one-year contract.

"The dependable defender, who first joined us early in the 2020-21 season, has established himself as a popular figure among team-mates and supporters thanks to his determined attitude and consistent performances either on the left of a back three or at wing-back."

Chicksen declared himself "delighted" to have put pen to paper on a fresh deal at Meadow Lane. “I’ve loved my time here – I’ve been really enjoying my football so I’ve always wanted to stay," he said.

“I’m delighted that side of things is all sorted and now I can focus on picking up where I left off last season by putting in good performances.

“The care and the passion the fans have for this club is amazing. Having so much history behind it, you can feel it when you walk on to the pitch. It heightens your desire to deliver performances and match the pressure and expectation that’s placed on you."
