Notts County boss Luke Williams is hoping to strike the perfect balance in his first pre-season as Notts County boss.
Williams was brought in to replace Ian Burchnall, who left for Forest Green Rovers, last month. Ryan Harley arrived as Williams' assistant manager at Meadow Lane as Notts target another assault on promotion from the National League back into the Football League at the fourth time of asking.
Williams left his position as Russell Martin's assistant at Championship side Swansea City to join Notts while Harley was most recently playing for Frome Town in Somerset. Notts have already signed six players and continue to work on bringing more through the door at Meadow Lane as they look to finally end their stay in the fifth tier. And how they get on in pre-season will determine how they set the tone for the start of the new season with double sessions ahead for his players and staff.
