Notts County captain Kyle Cameron has insisted that it would be difficult to find a better coach than Luke Williams when asked about extending his stay at Meadow Lane.
The Magpies defender signed from Torquay United two years ago, becoming an integral part of Notts' two previous play-off campaigns, with ambitions of going one better and returning to the EFL this time around.
Cameron is one of nine players at the club with deals expiring this summer, with the likes of Ruben Rodrigues, Aaron Nemane, and Adam Chicksen also out of contract this June.

The club has already made one statement of intent by offering midfielder Matty Palmer new terms, announced in December last year.
And while the Notts skipper explained his desire to remain at the football club beyond his current deal, he was keen to focus on this season's promotion push with ten games of the season remaining.
"Yes, things have been discussed," Cameron said. "But for me, I have said that I will leave my agent to deal with that stuff - I am here to concentrate on the football.
"We have ten massive games coming up and for me, it is about focusing on that and not messing about and trying to sort out contracts - if we get promoted it will be a lot easier to sit down and talk about a new contract with the staff here, but for now I am leaving that to my agent until the football is done and dusted and then move my attention to that.
"The last two years have been amazing, especially with the gaffer coming in this season I feel like he has improved me a lot and is probably the best coach I have worked with in my career so far and I think it will be a tough ask to find someone better than him, even higher up in the divisions.
"Of course, I am enjoying my time here - we have a promotion push going this season and I hope we can get that over the line to get the club back where it should be."
The 26-year-old is one of only three players amongst the current squad to have featured in 36 of Notts' league games this season - the latest of which ended in a 1-1 draw away to Bromley on Saturday.
On what proved to be a difficult first 45 minutes, the hosts deservedly led at the interval thanks to Adam Marriott's spot-kick, with the risk of playing with an altered formation ultimately not paying off.
And when asked to pinpoint why the opening exchanges proved so difficult, Cameron said: "It could have been the formation, but it is always difficult in the opening stages of games because teams are fresh and have a lot more energy than in the second half - you could see the difference with the first kick of the second half, they just dropped off and tried to defend the lead.
"Of course the back four is something we have not worked on as much this season as we have with the back three and back five, but we are good enough footballers to work out on the pitch what we need to be done and unfortunately we couldn't do that for the first 20 minutes.
"We moved to a back three and felt a lot more comfortable and looked a lot more dominating and like our normal selves and we just couldn't get that next goal to win the game unfortunately."
