A message from boss Glenn Howes to Magpies supporters with a first team squad update:
With the few changes in personnel over the last 7 to 10 days, I felt it would be useful to update all our supporters on the following;
Tega Agberhiere - Unfortunately for Tega, he had a really injury ravaged pre-season with us, and then again picked up a couple minor muscular tweaks that stopped him gaining any momentum, so we felt it would be best to achieve this on a dual-registration with Moneyfields.
Jayden Nielsen - I’m full of gratitude for Jayden for giving it absolutely everything here at The Avenue, but unfortunately I do feel footballing fortune hasn’t been on this young lads side. Coupled with the long commute that he was doing on his own didn’t help the situation, so I really do hope it goes well playing more local to him and he achieves the success that he deserves.
Freddie Beale - I’ve really enjoyed working with Freddie, particularly in a positional and decision making sense, but it’s been clear for some time that he’s become frustrated with his opportunities. This somewhat has been blocked due to the good form of Ethan, Matty, and now the arrival of both Rafa and Olaf. I was hoping the game time received this season was sufficient enough to aid the team’s performance and to earn a regular starting birth. We of course wish Freddie well in seeking regular football elsewhere and thank him for his endeavours.
