Notts County have confirmed that midfielder Ed Francis has joined fellow National League side Gateshead for the remainder of the campaign.
The 23-year-old signed from Harrogate in 2021, has made just 13 appearances for the Magpies this season, having featured just once in the last 11 games in the league.
With the arrival of John Bostock in December last year, Francis has been pushed down the midfield pecking order and joins the Tynesiders in pursuit of more regular game time to aid Mike Williamson's side's push for National League survival.
