Luke Williams details Quevin Castro importance following Maidenhead performance

Luke Williams has hailed Notts County man Quevin Castro following another impressive performance in the 4-3 victory at Maidenhead on Saturday afternoon.

The West Brom loanee was on target in back-to-back games for the Magpies, curling an effort from the left-hand side that just evaded Macaulay Langstaff in the area to put Notts back into the lead.

It was Castro's fourth league start of the campaign, netting his fourth goal of his loan spell at Meadow Lane, and his qualities are becoming more apparent as he becomes more comfortable at his new side.

And the importance of the 21-year-old was further highlighted by the Notts boss, with Williams insisting the 21-year-old has a huge part to play for the remainder of the National League campaign.

"I have been so impressed with Quevin because he comes here from a big club, but he comes with no ego.

"He came here with a strong work ethic and he fits in with the group in a really good way, everybody is happy to sit down with Quevin and that speaks volume about his personality.

"And then on the pitch you can see his quality, his power on the pitch and his confidence to score, so I have been so pleased for Quevin and he's going to be an important player for us going forward."

There were question marks as to whether Castro meant his effort as he swung his right-foot behind the ball, with the ball teasing Maidenhead 'keeper Daniel Gyollai off his line and into the middle of the area.

But Williams explained that a half time team talk with both Castro and Langstaff soon cleared up who got the final touch.

"Absolutely, I even asked at half time and Macca said he did not touch it, so the last guy to touch it was Quevin."
