Former Brentford keeper to join Notts County

Newly-promoted Notts County have signed goalkeeper Stuart Nelson on a two-year deal, subject to a medical. The former Brentford captain, whose one-year stay with Aberdeen has come to an end, becomes the second goalkeeper to sign for the Magpies this summer. The 28-year-old will go head to head with fellow new-boy Rob Burch for the No.1 shirt at Meadow Lane, with former first choice Kasper Schmeichel departing for Leeds. Nelson, who has also turned out for Leyton Orient, started his career at Doncaster before making over 130 appearances for the Bees. And, with just three appearances for the Dons last term and none the previous season with Norwich, Nelson will be eager to show County boss Craig Short what he can do to steer his career back on track.
