Notts County boss Luke Williams hailed defender Connell Rawlinson as a 'warrior' following his performance in their 3-1 defeat to Dorking Wanderers on Saturday afternoon.
The 30-year-old had not featured for the Magpies all season due to injury but was named on the bench for their win over Aldershot at Meadow Lane, coming on for the final half an hour to replace Richard Brindley who picked up an injury.
And the severity of that injury kept him out of the game against Marc White's side at the weekend. With Aden Baldwin also side-lined with another injury, the Notts boss had no choice but to throw Rawlinson into the starting side at Meadowbank Park.
