Notts County Sign Winger Josh Martin on Short-Term Deal

Notts County have bolstered their squad by signing free-agent winger Josh Martin on a contract until January. The 23-year-old has been without a club since his release from Portsmouth this summer, where he made nine appearances during their successful promotion campaign to the Championship last season.

Martin, who started his career in the academies at Arsenal and Norwich City, joins Notts County following injuries to key players Curtis Edwards and Jodi Jones. Magpies director Richard Montague explained the decision, noting that Martin’s versatility could be an asset to the team.

“While he predominantly plays as a winger, we think he has the technical ability to also play more centrally in our system,” Montague said.

Notts County currently sit fourth in the League Two standings ahead of their upcoming fixture against Morecambe on Saturday.
