Experienced goalkeeper Sam Slocombe is prepared to take a different role at Notts County moving forward after signing a new two-year deal with the club. The 34-year-old joined Notts following their relegation from League Two in 2019 and has made 132 National League appearances for the club, including 41 last term.
Despite committing him to two further years at the club, County have outlined their intentions to recruit another “senior” goalkeeper which could see Slocombe’s role downgraded. The Notts ‘keeper is prepared for the possibility: “The next couple of years are possibly going to look a little bit different for me, It may be possible to operate in League Two with one senior, experienced goalkeeper, but I don’t think it’s the right approach for a club that has ambitions of being successful.
“For the benefit of the squad, we need strong competition in all areas. That’s football and that’s what I’ve had all my life – competition brings the best out of everyone and if we can get that in every position it’s a really positive thing.
