Confirmed: Jim O’Brien signs new Notts County deal

Notts County have confirmed that midfielder Jim O’Brien has accepted the offer of a new two-year contract at the club.

O’Brien is the longest-serving member of the Magpies’ squad, having joined the club in January 2019.

The 33-year-old has put pen to paper to now extend his stay at Meadow Lane for a further two years.

Manager Ian Burchnall has spoken of his delight at the midfielder’s decision.

“I’ve been hugely impressed with Jim’s attitude and ability since my arrival at the club,” he told the club’s official website.

“He’s got terrific energy and I think you could see how much we missed him when he picked up a couple of really unfortunate injuries towards the end of last season.

“Importantly, he understands how we want to play which gives us continuity going into the new campaign.

“With Michael Doyle taking a step back from playing and Frank Vincent being a younger player with lots still to learn, it’s a huge boost to keep someone of Jim’s professionalism and experience and we’re working hard to add more depth to this area of the squad.”
