Sam Austin has explained that despite scoring two goals in Notts County's FA Cup defeat to Coalville Town at the weekend, he needs to continue to perform in training to obtain a starting spot this Friday evening.
In what was a disappointing afternoon for the Magpies at Meadow Lane at the weekend, the 26-year-old was one of few positives, scoring twice to give manager Luke Williams food for thought ahead of a return to National League action on Friday night against Maidstone.
Since joining the club in the summer transfer window from Kidderminster Harriers, Austin has started just three games for Notts and often used as an impact substitution, something that has been used to great effect over the season with Williams looking to maintain the energy of his high press late on into games.
