Ian Burchnall has explained why Notts County were unable to keep Harry Arter until their season finished as he thanked the Nottingham Forest midfielder for his "work".
Arter returned to the City Ground in midweek despite the fact Notts are closing in on the National League play-offs for a third consecutive season. But Burchnall explained that Arter was unable to remain at the club due to "some things" that were going on personally behind the scenes.
And Notts' head coach said that was the reason why the Magpies have had to say goodbye to the former Bournemouth midfielder who slotted in seamlessly following his move from the City Ground in March.
